OverviewFactbookDispatchesPoliciesPeopleGovernmentEconomyRankTrendCards

The Liberating Republic of Fourian is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Gora Belanski with an even hand, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, pith helmet sales, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 8.459 billion Forrikans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Akhamoin. The average income tax rate is 83.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Forrikan economy, worth 991 trillion Shans a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Trout Farming, Book Publishing, Uranium Mining, and Basket Weaving. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 117,265 Shans, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Government popup ads are springing up like weeds, convicted felons are forced into slavery for their crimes, Gora Belanski's media campaigns take a hiatus around exam week, and talking during class is a gateway to lifelong drug addiction. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fourian's national animal is the Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Christianity.

Fourian is ranked 273,615th in the world and 156th in Empire of Great Britain for Most Stationary, with 9.18677884268 days.
