The Cacaphony of The Folksong Army is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 35.319 billion Folksong Armyians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 43.3%.
The frighteningly efficient Folksong Armyian economy, worth a remarkable 4,760 trillion kruzmarks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 134,789 kruzmarks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.
The nation turns a blind eye to human rights abuses in its quest for athletic supremacy, any body part that can be cut off a person is no longer considered to be their property, only toddlers and the elderly watch television before 23:00, and East Lebatuckese astronauts' favorite game during downtime on the Multinational Space Station is 'I Spy'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Folksong Army's national animal is the goldfish, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
The Folksong Army is ranked 206,823rd in the world and 44th in Antarctica for Most Politically Free, scoring 18.29 on the Diebold Election Inking Scale.
