The Loving Couple of ShipFan is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Cassius with an iron fist, and notable for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 11.722 billion ShipFanians 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 Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rolent. The average income tax rate is 50.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient ShipFanian economy, worth a remarkable 1,562 trillion dollars a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 133,260 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Death row is annually emptied to feed the nation's hunger for televised murder-games, religious education is a new government priority, robotic spouses prove to be just as imperfect as flesh and blood ones, and career advisors ask sociopathic orphan girls if they have considered becoming professional assassins. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. 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 22,988^th in the world and 5^th in Valhalla for Highest Poor Incomes, with 85,967.64 Standard Monetary Units.
