The Federal Commonwealth of Foredeland is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Patricius Cernalius with an even hand, and remarkable for its zero percent divorce rate, ubiquitous missile silos, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.042 billion Foredelians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Presmuth. The average income tax rate is 67.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Foredelandian economy, worth 114 trillion Foredelian Forels 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 large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Tourism, Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Soda Sales. 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 110,273 Foredelian Forels, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

It takes months to get the proper permits for a child's first tricycle, political candidates are regularly blocked for minor convictions from their teenage years, relations with Dàguó have warmed from frosty to chilly, and adverts proclaim it has to be healthy if the Mornay uses hand-grated Gallopavian Gruyère. Crime is totally unknown. Foredeland's national animal is the Foredelian Fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Roman Catholic.

Foredeland is ranked 82,932^nd in the world and 400^th in Europe for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 2,956.66 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
