The Province of Forez is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Mathieu-Médard de Saint-Galmier with an even hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 21.203 billion Foreziens are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The large, pro-business government prioritizes Spirituality, although Education, Law & Order, and Defense are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Feurs. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 35.2%.

The very strong Forezien economy, worth 966 trillion francs a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 45,568 francs, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 139,203 per year while the poor average 11,562, a ratio of 12.0 to 1.

Forez has designated Feurs as its capital city, abortion is only legal in unusual circumstances, Mathieu-Médard de Saint-Galmier has just been declared ruler of Forez in an international press conference, and Roman Catholicism has been named as Forez's national religion. Crime is moderate, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Forez's national animal is the dolphin and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Forez is ranked 238,393^rd in the world and 12^th in Aquitaine for Lowest Crime Rates, with 54.84 law-abiding acts per hour.
