The Absolute Monarchy of Formendia is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by Karl XVII with an iron fist, and remarkable for its frequent executions, parental licensing program, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 7.329 billion Formendians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Berghamn. The average income tax rate is 64.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Formendian economy, worth 673 trillion Formediansk Kronor a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 91,925 Formediansk Kronor, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A life spent suffering in silence is considered noble, the government is coughing up funds for lung cancer victims, nothing in life is promised except death and government support, and explicit slash fiction is repackaged for kindergarten kids as stories about friends cuddling friends. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Formendia's national animal is the Deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

Formendia is ranked 313,986^th in the world and 1,322^nd in Europeia for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -9.12 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
