The District of Forst is a titanic, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion, absence of drug laws, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 22.661 billion Forstians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Industry, Public Transport, and Education are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of District City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.5%.

The strong Forstian economy, worth a remarkable 1,376 trillion aurums a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Basket Weaving, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 60,726 aurums, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 412,864 per year while the poor average 3,262, a ratio of 126 to 1.

Voting is voluntary, the nation's official head of religious affairs is an atheist, and Forst has designated District City as its capital city. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Forst's national animal is the bovina, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Forst is ranked 15,261^st in the world and 1^st in Stockholm for Largest Populations, with 22.7 billion capita.
