The RIGHT HAND OF KARL FARTZ of Fartmaster Q 2 is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by THE GOD KING OF ALL FARTS OF THE EARTHS with an iron fist, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, keen interest in outer space, and ban on automobiles. The compassionate, cynical population of 3.496 billion Fartazoids 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 prioritizes Law & Order, although Defense, Administration, and Industry are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of FARTSBERG. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 44.2%.

The powerhouse Fartmaster Q 2ian economy, worth 284 trillion Farts 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 slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, Information Technology, 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 81,511 Farts, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 231,719 per year while the poor average 22,889, a ratio of 10.1 to 1.

Pet owners make sure their dogs wear diapers, aggravated apostrophe abusers are admonished and assaulted, the nation's reputation for treachery has left it sidelined on the international stage, and the government is paving paradises to put up parking lots. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fartmaster Q 2's national animal is the Fart, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is FARTISM.
