The Liberating Republic of Fourian is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Gora Belanski with an even hand, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, ritual sacrifices, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 8.563 billion Forrikans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Akhamoin. The average income tax rate is 82.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Forrikan economy, worth a remarkable 1,009 trillion Shans 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 Trout Farming, Book Publishing, Uranium Mining, and Basket Weaving. 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 117,931 Shans, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Vats of anabolic steroids are being dumped into the ocean to make Forrikan mussels the biggest in Empire of Great Britain, politicians are often found scavenging bins at night to supplement their income, commuters often break into synchronised para-para dancing for no reason at all, and one tree's worth of paperwork accompanies each imported log of timber. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fourian's national animal is the Owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Christianity.

Fourian is ranked 17,517^th in the world and 19^th in Empire of Great Britain for Lowest Crime Rates, with 91.82 law-abiding acts per hour.
