The United Empire of Foudina is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by James Wilbur with an even hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service, sprawling nuclear power plants, and zero percent divorce rate. The compassionate population of 1.863 billion Foudians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Losdonia City. The average income tax rate is 90.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Foudian economy, worth 313 trillion Foudian Euros a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Tourism. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 168,353 Foudian Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

The latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, owning a fishing rod can cause you to be subject to military questioning, mall countdown clocks warn that there are only 364 more shopping days until Maxxmas, and children spend all morning taking out a comma and all afternoon putting it back in again. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Foudina's national animal is the Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is None.

Foudina is ranked 13,112th in the world and 280th in Europe for Highest Food Quality, scoring 143.3 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
