The Loving Couple of 4rt F4n is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Vee with an iron fist, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, frequent executions, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 10.158 billion 4rt F4nians 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Connecticut. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 61.3%.

The frighteningly efficient 4rt F4nian economy, worth a remarkable 1,265 trillion snails a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 124,613 snails, with the richest citizens earning 6.0 times as much as the poorest.

Equality looks curiously unequal, Vee is famed for giving great back rubs, the 4rt F4nian Intelligence Agency relies on rumour and guidebooks to know what is happening overseas, and prison libraries are being replaced with interrogation chambers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 4rt F4n's national animal is the owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Cards.

4rt F4n is ranked 314,899^th in the world and 701^st in Unimoraic Puppet Regions for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -9.34 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
