The Republic of The foudre is a huge, cultured nation, notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, compulsory military service, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 641 million foudreans are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The relatively small, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 18.0%.

The all-consuming foudrean economy, worth 69.4 trillion gallons a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 108,252 gallons, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 526,057 per year while the poor average 12,865, a ratio of 40.9 to 1.

The institution of marriage is held sacred and strictly enforced, the government is pouring funds into the nation's welfare system, even secular foudreans are shouting "Blessed are the cheesemakers!", and executions often take hours as amateurs attempt to find veins. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent. The foudre's national animal is the yeast, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

The foudre is ranked 47,421^st in the world and 1^st in Grand Coalition Control Room for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 4,473.85 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
