The Free Land of Folk vanger is a very large, safe nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 151 million Folk vangerians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, liberal, socially-minded government prioritizes Welfare, with Healthcare, Education, and Administration also on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 63.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Folk vangerian economy, worth 2.50 trillion Services 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 slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Tourism, Cheese Exports, Trout Farming, and Pizza Delivery. 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 16,574 Services, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

X-Files ratings have hit an all-time low, neon signs promoting safe driving often distract drivers, lovesick people are told 'it's not them, it's you', and skateparks can be found in every city. Crime is totally unknown. Folk vanger's national animal is the Mongoose, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Folk vanger is ranked 67,576th in the world and 2,064th in The North Pacific for Safest, scoring 95.85 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
