The Sośal Consrvativ Republic of Fourian is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by Hjugo MaKorić with an iron fist, and renowned for its public floggings, keen interest in outer space, and frequent executions. The compassionate, cynical, humorless, devout population of 14.005 billion Forrikans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tostović. The average income tax rate is 92.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Forrikan economy, worth a remarkable 1,862 trillion Bludmarks 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, quite specialized black market in Trout Farming, Information Technology, Automobile Manufacturing, and Arms Manufacturing. 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 132,960 Bludmarks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Elementary school children develop thousand-yard stares, Fourian's citizens often wander into each other's homes, business meetings across the country are interrupted by the sound of squeaking whoopee-cushions, and ministers are now allowed to put suggestions in the governmental suggestion box. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fourian's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Christianity.

Fourian is ranked 9,201^st in the world and 10^th in Empire of Great Britain for Longest Average Lifespans, with 91.76 years.
