The Kingdom of Foulkes Island is a huge, genial nation, remarkable for its punitive income tax rates, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 446 million Foulkes Islanders have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rochsborough. The average income tax rate is 64.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Foulkes Islandian economy, worth 35.8 trillion Reins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Retail. Average income is 80,368 Reins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Builders across Foulkes Island are blocked up with orders for new public loos, judicial robes are the country's hottest fashion trend, Foulkes Island successfully hosted the The North Pacific Olympics, and children are sent to either religious or secular schools. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Foulkes Island's national animal is the Reindeer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Foulkes Island is ranked 163,002^nd in the world and 3,866^th in The North Pacific for Highest Economic Output, with 35.8 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
