The Democratic Republic of Foradini is a large, safe nation, notable for its national health service, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 85 million Foradinians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 60.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Foradinian economy, worth 4.70 trillion romanettoes a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Tourism. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 55,314 romanettoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

People accuse the government of being in bed with Big Safety, the phrase 'spreading like wildfire' is no longer in the public lexicon, the Forestry Department has decided you really can't fight fire with fire, and twins move across the country to avoid being accused of the other's crimes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Foradini's national animal is the goose, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Foradini is ranked 286,038^th in the world and 1,261^st in Europeia for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -14.76 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
