The State of Fouta is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by the Governor with a fair hand, and notable for its complete lack of prisons, absence of drug laws, and devotion to social welfare. The democratic population of 40.987 billion Foutans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Westminster. The average income tax rate is 46.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The enormous but inefficient Foutan economy, worth a remarkable 1,363 trillion betales a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Uranium Mining, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 33,264 betales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

All tariffs have been abolished, citizens select which government department gets their income tax guinea dollars each year, Fouta has designated Westminster as its capital city, and The Governor has just been declared ruler of Fouta in an international press conference. Crime is totally unknown. Fouta's national animal is the deer.

Fouta is ranked 2,056^th in the world and 1^st in Bermuda for Highest Drug Use, scoring 391.14 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
