The Great and Powerful Collecter of The Funian Collection is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by 00 with an even hand, and remarkable for its frequent executions, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 3.719 billion Funian Collectionians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of 00. The average income tax rate is 37.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Funian Collectionian economy, worth 390 trillion 00s 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 a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. 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 105,067 00s, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Families waiting for delayed pipe installations hope daily for rain, convicted criminals are given free limo rides to jail, citizens are encouraged to report friends, family members or co-workers who seem depressed to the government for "counselling", and prisoners can't do number twos without their "toilet buddy" present. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Funian Collection's national animal is the 00, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Funian Collection is ranked 2,265th in the world and 8th in The Funian Puppet Region for Lowest Crime Rates, with 75.03 law-abiding acts per hour.
