The Loving Couple of For-TheFuture- is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by Emperor Larvae with an iron fist, and renowned for its public floggings, fear of technology, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 7.402 billion For-TheFuture-ians 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 large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Boiling Isles. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 59.7%.

The frighteningly efficient For-TheFuture-ian economy, worth 821 trillion snails a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 111,038 snails, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 377,719 per year while the poor average 24,061, a ratio of 15.7 to 1.

Truth is often impossible to tell from fiction on the evening news, grannies get pulled over for knitting pullovers while driving, charity fundraisers often resemble minstrel shows, and most people suffer from some form of hearing loss. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. For-TheFuture-'s national animal is the owl, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Cards.

For-TheFuture- is ranked 19,750^th in the world and 1^st in Red Front for Largest Black Market, with 171 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
