The Empire of The 4th Choice is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Yuma Tsukumo with an even hand, and renowned for its enslaved workforce, feral children, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 8.156 billion Choicers 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Heartland City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 28.1%.

Average income is 92,090 dollars, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 400,922 per year while the poor average 13,388, a ratio of 29.9 to 1.

The official 4th Choicean Phrase Book weighs as much as a small child, The 4th Choice's children are widely acknowledged as the most foul-mouthed in the region, doctors tell patients to turn and cough up some change, and bombs make good ploughs.
