The Interplanetary Bastion of Folgoria is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Commisaar Nael Laska with an iron fist, and notable for its museums and concert halls, frequent executions, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 21.964 billion Folgorians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, with Law & Order also on the agenda, while International Aid isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Honorable Demophora. The average income tax rate is 99.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Folgorian economy, worth a remarkable 8,161 trillion Folgorites a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Arms Manufacturing and Information Technology. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 371,594 Folgorites, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Relations with Merovingia are as cold as Folgoria's high-security cell blocks, toddlers are wielding machine guns in the name of national defense, battlefield gains are quickly lost when enemies don't respect a time-out, and military minds worry that 'the blue screen of death' on brand new operating systems may be a literal description. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Folgoria's national animal is the Folgoria Folgoris, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Dystania.

Folgoria is ranked 6,068th in the world and 1st in Master Cloud for Most Advanced Law Enforcement, scoring 11,419.08 on the Orwell Orderliness Index.
