The Host of Four B F B is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Four with an iron fist, and renowned for its compulsory military service, soft-spoken computers, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.965 billion Four B F Bians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 44.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Four B F Bian economy, worth 88.8 trillion screeches a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 45,181 screeches, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

It is cheaper to die in the wilderness than to survive, boys are forced to pair off for the school disco slow dance as the girls are all staying at home, government theft from poor artists to give to rich allies has been dubbed the "reverse Robin Hood" policy, and a major religion has been named as Four B F B's national religion. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Four B F B's national animal is the Fourse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Four B F B is ranked 306,704^th in the world and 13^th in BFB Teams for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring -3.16 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
