The Interplanetary Bastion of Folgoria is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Commisaar Nael Laska with an iron fist, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, zero percent divorce rate, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 21.882 billion Folgorians 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, although Law & Order is also considered important, while International Aid is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Honorable Demophora. The average income tax rate is 99.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Folgorian economy, worth a remarkable 8,127 trillion Folgorites 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 black market in Arms Manufacturing and Information Technology. 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 amazing 371,402 Folgorites, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Tech-mad citizens think that the laser-powered bread-slicer uPhone App is the coolest thing since sliced bread, relations with Merovingia are as cold as Folgoria's high-security cell blocks, toddlers are wielding machine guns in the name of national defense, and battlefield gains are quickly lost when enemies don't respect a time-out. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Folgoria's national animal is the Folgoria Folgoris, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Dystania.

Folgoria is ranked 330,286th in the world and 1st in Master Cloud for Nicest Citizens, with 0.15 average smiles per day.
