The Socialist Federal Republic of Folvia is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Chairman Jean-Baptiste Szabo with an iron fist, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, state-planned economy, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 2.342 billion Folvians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fort Baker. The average income tax rate is 76.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Folvinese economy, worth 60.0 trillion sesterces a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Book Publishing, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 25,601 sesterces, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Folvinese diplomacy is by the book, public transit is widely considered to be perpetrating the patriarchy, artists are renowned for their ability to make art pieces out of thin air, and blasphemers and government critics often die in very unusual and unlikely accidents. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Folvia's national animal is the catdog, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Church of Confucius Scientist.

Folvia is ranked 83,567th in the world and 4th in Ancient Lands for Safest, scoring 90.03 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
