The Queendom of Foribus Praetura is a colossal, safe nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 9.178 billion Foribus Praeturans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 41.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Foribus Praeturan economy, worth 75.8 trillion betales 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 a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. 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 8,261 betales, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, organ donation is compulsory, captains must wait until all rats are safe before jumping ship, and exorbitant spending on icebreakers breaks the ice at every budget meeting. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Foribus Praetura's national animal is the deer.

Foribus Praetura is ranked 101,842nd in the world and 1st in Dar es Salaam for Lowest Crime Rates, with 65.63 law-abiding acts per hour.
