The Socialist Federal Republic of Folvia is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Chairman Jean-Baptiste Szabo with an iron fist, and renowned for its public floggings, keen interest in outer space, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 2.42 billion Folvians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fort Baker. The average income tax rate is 76.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Folvinese economy, worth 62.4 trillion sesterces a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is 25,780 sesterces, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

At least 1% of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs budget goes to Chairman Jean-Baptiste Szabo's wardrobe, the typical murderer weighs 150kg and has hairy arms, cassocked priests and choirboys believe that what happens behind closed doors stays behind closed doors, and theories that hold water are considered to have failed. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Folvia's national animal is the catdog, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Church of Confucius Scientist.

Folvia is ranked 315,126^th in the world and 13^th in Ancient Lands for Highest Average Incomes, with 25,780.71 Standard Monetary Units.
