The Republic of Fontesia is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Kantel with an even hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, sprawling nuclear power plants, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 3.911 billion Fontesians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Palusia. The average income tax rate is 55.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Fontesian economy, worth 428 trillion Fontesia Dollars a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Retail. Average income is an impressive 109,460 Fontesia Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Mournful opera fans place bouquets of roses at a 3000 capacity parking lot, rumor has it that Kantel has won three lotteries in a row, eerie glow-in-the-dark cornfields give farmlands an uncanny appearance, and priceless Maxtopian artwork can often be found in executive bathrooms. Crime is totally unknown. Fontesia's national animal is the Fontesian Alligator, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Yunyunism.

Fontesia is ranked 18,441^st in the world and 554^th in The East Pacific for Healthiest Citizens, with 10.82 bananas ingested per day.
