The Alpenlicht of Forchach is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its parental licensing program, infamous sell-swords, and state-planned economy. The cynical, devout population of 4.646 billion Forchachians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 73.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Forchachian economy, worth 543 trillion Euros 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 a slick, highly efficient black market in Arms Manufacturing, Trout Farming, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. 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 impressive 116,966 Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Goldfish bowls are three metres in diameter, buses are widely regarded as the safest way to travel, the nation's prisons are touted as the best weight loss programs money can't buy, and polygamy is legal. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Forchach's national animal is the Golden Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Forchach is ranked 268,566^th in the world and 89^th in Alpenwelt for Safest, scoring 20.3 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
