The Republic of 2022 Ford Explorer is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, digital currency, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, devout population of 1.521 billion 2022 Ford Explorerians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 35.7%.

The thriving 2022 Ford Explorerian economy, worth 117 trillion Dollars 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, broadly diversified black market in Tourism, Soda Sales, Automobile Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. 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 77,454 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Policies are debated via video essays and tier lists, the government mails weekly updates on the new anti-junk mail laws to every citizen, emergency vehicles have built-in nudge bars to give uncooperative drivers a "gentle" push, and Tetris has been banned for its graphic violent content. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 2022 Ford Explorer's national animal is the Box Turtle.

2022 Ford Explorer is ranked 248,749^th in the world and 114^th in Puppets of Mystris for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 40.78 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
