The Interplanetary Bastion of Folgoria is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Commisaar Nael Laska with an iron fist, and notable for its museums and concert halls, frequent executions, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 21.5 billion Folgorians 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, although Law & Order is also considered important, while International Aid is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Honorable Demophora. The average income tax rate is 99.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Folgorian economy, worth a remarkable 7,893 trillion Folgorites 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Arms Manufacturing and Information Technology. 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 an amazing 367,139 Folgorites, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

When flight control tells pilots to alter course the usual reply is "No, YOU move!", Jack Russells have proven to be terrible spies, children are often punished for the sins of the fathers, and real men are endangered. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Folgoria's national animal is the Folgoria Folgoris, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Dystania.

Folgoria is ranked 299,176^th in the world and 1^st in Master Cloud for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -12.62 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
