The Armed Republic of Foukistan is a large, orderly nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The cynical population of 135 million Foukistanians 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 63.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Foukistanian economy, worth 5.34 trillion marks 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 Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 39,524 marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Mountain rescue missions can end with more people lost than found, judges are big know-it-alls, authorities are looking for a stool pigeon to rat out who is stealing food from pigeon toilets, and Propaganda and Partisanship 101 is a required class all political candidates must pass before being nominated by their chosen party. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Foukistan's national animal is the tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Foukistan is ranked 278,028^th in the world and 997^th in Concord for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -7.55 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
