The Loving Couple of ShipFan- is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Cloud with a fair hand, and renowned for its avant-garde cinema, rampant corporate plagiarism, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, democratic, humorless, devout population of 6.539 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 67.0%.

The frighteningly efficient ShipFan-ian economy, worth 942 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 144,177 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

Cloud has been nicknamed 'Robomop', polling place volunteers are suddenly opening a huge number of offshore bank accounts, the government operates on the idea that you can't be betrayed if you get your betrayals in first and fastest, and parties that are too noisy are broken up to prevent disturbing wildlife. 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 41,839^th in the world and 22^nd in Wysteria for Lowest Crime Rates, with 76.94 law-abiding acts per hour.
