The Democratic Republic of Foyenne is a fledgling, cultured nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-working population of 6 million Foyenneans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The tiny government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.7%.

The strong Foyennean economy, worth 386 billion twindles a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 64,487 twindles, with the richest citizens earning 5.9 times as much as the poorest.

Napalm is the tool of choice for disabling eco-unfriendly forestry operations, mining safety laws are often more expensive than what's being mined, visitors often wonder about the new red dartboard in Leader's office, and almost half of the child population live rough on the streets. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low. Foyenne's national animal is the Salamander, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Foyenne is ranked 203,927^th in the world and 7^th in New Ukraine for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -1.71 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
