The Fourdom of Answer 4 is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Four-um Mod with an iron fist, and renowned for its flagrant waste-dumping, compulsory military service, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 7.448 billion Aforians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fourth Fort Fourmosa. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 78.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Aforian economy, worth a remarkable 1,072 trillion Quarters a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Retail, Uranium Mining, Furniture Restoration, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is an impressive 144,007 Quarters, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 536,222 per year while the poor average 27,145, a ratio of 19.8 to 1.

The government is full of esquivalience, posters encourage people to "Just Do It!", there's no representation without taxation, and the nation's taxpayers pay for foreign governments' extravagances. Crime is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Answer 4's national animal is the Four Legged Animal, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Fourian Messianic Monotheism.

Answer 4 is ranked 79,118^th in the world and 17^th in Testregionia for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 37.44 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
