The Mafia Dictatorship of For Sque is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Thunder with an iron fist, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, rampant corporate plagiarism, and otherworldly petting zoo. The hard-working, cynical population of 8.825 billion Squeans are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The relatively small, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 16.3%.

The frighteningly efficient For Squean economy, worth a remarkable 1,019 trillion Sques a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 115,497 Sques, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 513,835 per year while the poor average 16,161, a ratio of 31.8 to 1.

The police turn a blind eye to desecration if it's done in the name of religion or protest, contestants on For Sque's Got Talent are screened by the government to make sure that they actually have talent, bread-gangs raid restaurant waste bins to stockpile uneaten rolls, and shoppers have literally had their hands full since plastic bags were banned. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control. For Sque's national animal is the hawk, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

For Sque is ranked 227,796th in the world and 121st in Forest for Fattest Citizens, with 8.44 Obesity Rate.
