The Fash Basher of Foril-Alpha is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by President JayDee with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, state-planned economy, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 6.494 billion Foril-Alphans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Free City of Arnhelm. The average income tax rate is 65.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The strong Foril-Alphan economy, worth 428 trillion Alpha Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 65,914 Alpha Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
All mothers are allowed six months fully-paid maternity leave, politicians "baring all" for the camera isn't always a figure of speech, the delay between passed legislation and real world implementation is often a decade or longer, and the best way to be heard in politics is to speak softly and carry a big comedy prop. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Foril-Alpha's national animal is the Alpha-Class, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Europeian Independentism.
Foril-Alpha is ranked 28,917th in the world and 21st in Realm of the Whispering Winds for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 942.6 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
