The Sunlit Lands of Formaro is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Cerevino Velebrina with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and national health service. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 2.352 billion Formarins hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cernesta. The average income tax rate is 90.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Formari economy, worth 489 trillion citrans a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 208,319 citrans, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Belief that Cerevino Velebrina is a lizard-person from outer space has reached an all-time high, the world still seems flat to some people in space, the government helps teach children how to kill a man from six paces, and all tariffs have been abolished. Crime is totally unknown. Formaro's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Light of the Gilded Star.

Formaro is ranked 23,508^th in the world and 606^th in The East Pacific for Highest Wealthy Incomes, with 304,958 Standard Monetary Units.
