The Subterranean dwellers of Fork Reich is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by The Enlightened with an iron fist, and remarkable for its infamous sell-swords, zero percent divorce rate, and otherworldly petting zoo. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.958 billion Fork Reichians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Healthcare, Law & Order, and Industry also on the agenda, while International Aid and Spirituality are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Point Pleasant. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 71.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Fork Reichian economy, worth a remarkable 1,161 trillion Marcs 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, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. 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 194,946 Marcs, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 674,580 per year while the poor average 41,166, a ratio of 16.4 to 1.

Taking hostages is a great way to influence government policy, proletariat workers identify less with the hammer and sickle and more with the touchscreen and phone charger, the caged-bird trade is singing, and the subway is dead quiet in early afternoons. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fork Reich's national animal is the Moth, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Cult of the Mothman.

Fork Reich is ranked 283,212^th in the world and 304^th in KAISERREICH for Highest Food Quality, scoring 5.28 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
