The Republic of Upper Forkod Bareeiginic is a titanic, efficient nation, notable for its burgeoning penguin population. The hard-working, cynical population of 10.154 billion Upper Forkod Bareeiginicians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, pro-business, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Public Transport, and Education also on the agenda, while International Aid receives no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 10.7%.

The thriving Upper Forkod Bareeiginician economy, worth 616 trillion deniers a year, is led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing.

Crime is a problem, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Upper Forkod Bareeiginic's national animal is the penguin, which can occasionally be seen avoiding garbage in the nation's murky oceans.
