The County of Forcalquier is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 12.04 billion Forcalquierians are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The relatively small, moralistic, pro-business government is primarily concerned with Spirituality, with Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare also on the agenda. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.7%.

The very strong Forcalquierian economy, worth 801 trillion francs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Book Publishing. Average income is 66,600 francs, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 221,671 per year while the poor average 14,910, a ratio of 14.9 to 1.

Forcalquier has designated Forcalquier City as its capital city, Leader has just been declared ruler of Forcalquier in an international press conference, and a major religion has been named as Forcalquier's national religion. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Forcalquier's national animal is the bear, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Forcalquier is ranked 26,450^th in the world and 491^st in The North Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 6,489.84 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
