The frighteningly efficient Forktoonian economy, worth 235 trillion Electronic Fork Credits a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 146,120 Electronic Fork Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Racehorses move a lot slower these days, urban entrepreneurs are busy introducing cockroaches into restaurant kitchens, the arms industry has been shut down in a surge of pacifism, and the realistic depiction of tentacles is on the core syllabus of most art schools.

Forktoon is ranked 4,920^th in the world and 164^th in The East Pacific for Most Pacifist, with 151.4 Cheeks Turned Per Day.
