The Jingoistic States of Forcarol17 is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Bob17 with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, pith helmet sales, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, devout population of 3.612 billion Forcarol17ians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The medium-sized, liberal government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Education, Industry, and Welfare are also considered important, while International Aid is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Midton17. The average income tax rate is 66.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Forcarol17ian economy, worth 409 trillion Chamfered Bezels 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, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. 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 113,350 Chamfered Bezels, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

An Osiris Tourist Association survey has rated Forcarol17 #1 for number twos, traumatised refugees have a full bedpan shoved into their hands along with their immigration papers, it is not politically correct to suspect that a serially convicted burglar might steal again, and physics lessons mostly involve talking about emotional management techniques. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Forcarol17's national animal is the Gazebo, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Forcarol17 is ranked 21,421^st in the world and 1,337^th in Osiris for Highest Poor Incomes, with 89,163.73 Standard Monetary Units.
