The Republic of Foronai is a very large, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its punitive income tax rates, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 491 million Foronaians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social and economic equality; they tend to view other countries as corrupted by the hollow pageantry of sham elections.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Selhukia. The average income tax rate is 63.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Foronaian economy, worth 29.8 trillion Forons a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 60,595 Forons, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government is proudly free of crabs, glamping Foronaians won't sleep in a tent that doesn't include a Jacuzzi, government theft from poor artists to give to rich allies has been dubbed the "reverse Robin Hood" policy, and police officers often conceal their identities to safeguard against public complaints. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Foronai's national animal is the swan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Foronai is ranked 14,021^st in the world and 16^th in Corsair for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 58.5 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
