The United Socialist States of Foldaka is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Yinase Alpex with an iron fist, and remarkable for its public floggings, state-planned economy, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.72 billion Foldakans 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, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Education, Law & Order, and Administration also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Freefolten. The average income tax rate is 93.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Foldakan economy, worth a remarkable 1,008 trillion Alphas 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 large, well-organized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Cheese Exports, and Book Publishing. 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 an impressive 150,115 Alphas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Prisoners pray grey skies are gonna clear up, the nationalistic national anthem inspires citizens to literally spit at foreigners, chain-gangs are often seen toting barges and lifting bales, and children who can't memorize their multiplication tables are sent to the mines. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Foldaka's national animal is the Birb, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Randomreligionism.

Foldaka is ranked 282,732^nd in the world and 10^th in Aurelius for Nicest Citizens, with 0.33 average smiles per day.
