The Republic of Fantalandia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Coca-Cola CEO Muhtar Kent with an iron fist, and remarkable for its frequent executions, infamous sell-swords, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 10.518 billion Fantalandians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fanta Fountain. The average income tax rate is 68.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Fantalandian economy, worth a remarkable 2,013 trillion Fantas 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 black market in Retail, Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. 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 191,468 Fantas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Real chickens replace rooster weather vanes on inner-city rooftop gardens, the government is encouraging violence on television, the National Archive now covers square miles of warehouses in order to accommodate its new stone tablets system, and citizens who don't follow a major religion are closely monitored for signs of self-harm. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fantalandia's national animal is the Fanta Fish, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Fantalandia is ranked 244,186^th in the world and 11^th in Glass Gallows for Most Beautiful Environments, with 2.3 Pounds Of Wildlife Per Square Mile.
