The Holy Golden Empire of ForeignPeanut is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Yodle with an iron fist, and renowned for its prohibition of alcohol, restrictive gun laws, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 14.231 billion Foreigners 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yodle City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 53.4%.
The all-consuming ForeignPeanutian economy, worth a remarkable 1,286 trillion Gold Coins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 90,411 Gold Coins, with the richest citizens earning 6.4 times as much as the poorest.
Pregnancy tests are under fire from the government for being marketed only to women, photographers can be found hiding behind the curtains in Yodle's bedroom, medical experts advise that those claiming to be medical experts are probably fraudsters, and on-duty Air ForeignPeanut flight attendants are usually seen napping in first class. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. ForeignPeanut's national animal is the Zombie, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Yodlism.
ForeignPeanut is ranked 88,463rd in the world and 80th in The Region That Has No Big Banks for Most Stationary, with 514.79090664472 days.
