The Fourdom of Answer 4 is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Four-um Mod with an iron fist, and notable for its pith helmet sales, zero percent divorce rate, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 7.039 billion Aforians 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 enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Administration, with Industry, Healthcare, and Public Transport also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fourth Fort Fourmosa. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 78.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Aforian economy, worth 987 trillion Quarters a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Retail, Uranium Mining, Furniture Restoration, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is an impressive 140,292 Quarters, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 426,616 per year while the poor average 35,829, a ratio of 11.9 to 1.

Crying babies are told to grow up, self-proclaimed free-thinkers line up for their weekly sermons, the RXN information hour is a guaranteed cure for insomnia, and children aren't allowed to chew their pencils until they get home from school. Crime is pervasive, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Answer 4's national animal is the Four Legged Animal, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Fourian Messianic Monotheism.

Answer 4 is ranked 3,347^th in the world and 2^nd in Testregionia for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 2,953.23 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
