The Liberal Paradise of The Fortem is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Jay Coleman with an even hand, and notable for its conspicuous electricity pylons, keen interest in outer space, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 11.063 billion Fortemians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cradlion. The average income tax rate is 96.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Fortemian economy, worth a remarkable 1,848 trillion dollars a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 167,055 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

A certain animated paperclip is enjoying his sunset years at the government's expense, clothing with a scarlet S is popular among repentant body shamers, a new guerrilla marketing campaign for tap water involves government agents spraying random citizens with hose water, and the government forces Fortemians to eat their vegetables. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Fortem's national animal is the falcon, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Various religions.

The Fortem is ranked 302,457^th in the world and 350^th in 10000 Islands for Lowest Overall Tax Burden, scoring -443.77 on the Hayek Index.
