The United Empire of Foudina is a massive, safe nation, ruled by James Wilbur with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, unlimited-speed roads, and anti-smoking policies. The compassionate population of 1.915 billion Foudians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Losdonia City. The average income tax rate is 91.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Foudian economy, worth 323 trillion Foudian Euros a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Tourism. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 169,040 Foudian Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Youth rights demonstrations often end in vicious snowball fights, scientific journals publish third-graders' school essays, even immigrants complain that immigrants keep taking their jobs, and refugees from other nations are flocking to Foudina's border. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Foudina's national animal is the Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is None.

Foudina is ranked 5,860^th in the world and 103^rd in Europe for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 525.31 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
