The Democratic Republic of Foradini is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Sir Papereski with an even hand, and remarkable for its national health service, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.383 billion Foradinians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Asterora. The average income tax rate is 77.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Foradinian economy, worth 115 trillion romanettoes a year, is highly specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 83,304 romanettoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Life expectancies inside correctional facilities vastly exceed the national average, buses are widely regarded as the safest way to travel, popular cartoon characters frequently appear in government-sponsored PSAs reminding students to say no to drugs, and road signs are getting harder to read under layers of knitted woolen cardigans. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Foradini's national animal is the goose, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Foradini is ranked 78,687^th in the world and 265^th in Europeia for Nudest, with 183.5 cheeks per square mile.
