The Fun of TheLandOfFun is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Big Boi Manager with an iron fist, and remarkable for its soft-spoken computers, state-planned economy, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 3.673 billion Funians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Beautiful Port. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 74.7%.

The frighteningly efficient TheLandOfFunian economy, worth 460 trillion bitcoins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 125,421 bitcoins, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 368,014 per year while the poor average 33,695, a ratio of 10.9 to 1.

Nobody ever questions the unquestioned rule that questions must always be asked, the Holy Office of the Inquisition is the highest court in the land, cars are banned, and troop transports blacken the sky as the military commences Operation Desert Ocean. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. TheLandOfFun's national animal is the Russian Argali, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Fun.

TheLandOfFun is ranked 122,407th in the world and 7th in Vibonia for Most Stationary, with 286.91886498292 days.
