The Sovereign Corporation of PQ Forge is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Seven with an iron fist, and remarkable for its closed borders, sprawling nuclear power plants, and flagrant waste-dumping. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 31.93 billion corporate employees are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The tiny, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government is dominated by the Department of Defense, although Law & Order is also considered important, while Welfare and Environment receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Chapterhouse Prime. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Corporate Employee economy, worth an astonishing 16,402 trillion GPS 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, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. 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 a breathtaking 513,694 GPS, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Cutting-edge missile systems are being retrofitted to twin-prop air force biplanes, it is said that a Corporate Employee woman's work is never done, corrective labour camps either end political dissent or kill the dissenters, and gossip magazines have been replaced by mask catalogs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. PQ Forge's national animal is the slave labourer, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Prolefeed.

PQ Forge is ranked 285,907th in the world and 835th in NationStates for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 0.8 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
