The Nomocracy of Fontelian is a gargantuan, efficient nation, notable for its unlimited-speed roads, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 32.18 billion Fontians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Public Transport. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Caerbannog. The average income tax rate is 71.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Fontelianian economy, worth a remarkable 3,809 trillion Hanlon Razors a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Gambling. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 118,384 Hanlon Razors, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The combined alert sound of a nation simultaneously receiving a text message is a common cause of hearing damage, tradesmen will knock 10% off their fees if customers pay cash, vital intelligence-gathering activities are put on hold as agents return home for seduction training and advanced poker instruction, and the subway is dead quiet in early afternoons. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fontelian's national animal is the killer rabbit, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Pythonism.

Fontelian is ranked 1,742nd in the world and 1st in Sapientia for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 32,008.47 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
