Government
Fanton is a republic. The government of Fanton highly values environmental preservation, which is one of its founding ideals, baked into the constitution.
Economy
Fanton remains relatively unindustrialized and heavily relies on the exportation of crops and materials and the importation of products.
Society
Most Fantoni are brought up as nature-loving and vegetarian. In fact, most restaurants and cafeterias only serve vegetarian food. Because of this, the Fantoni have developed millions of different ways to make tofu, much to the delight of Sparky.
Naming conventions
Fanton has the same naming conventions as Bauhinia. See here.
History
Fanton was originally a part of the Bauhinian Empire. During the empire's industrialization, a group of people got mad at the destruction of nature and the endangerment of many plant and animal species. They saw their chance when revolution broke out in Bauhinia. Following all the other countries, they declared independence.
Fanton was created at such a convenient time when everyone else was too busy sorting out their own mess to give a fuck about Fanton. The republic survived.
The creation of Fanton led a lot of the original inhabitants to move out in frustration, and a lot of like-minded individuals in other places to move in.
