The Loving Couple of ShipFan- is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Cloud with a fair hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and avant-garde cinema. The hard-nosed, democratic, humorless, devout population of 6.645 billion ShipFan-ians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Midgar. The average income tax rate is 66.8%.

The frighteningly efficient ShipFan-ian economy, worth 954 trillion dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 143,616 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

The nation's unofficial motto is "Fear Thy Neighbour", it turns out that money can buy you happiness, 9 out of 10 consumers think that vitamins can cure cancer, and political cartoons depicting Cloud's face on a dove's buttocks are selling like hotcakes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. ShipFan-'s national animal is the dove, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Cards.

ShipFan- is ranked 17,714^th in the world and 14^th in Wysteria for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 7,599.04 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
