The United Socialist States of Foldaka is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Yinase Alpex with an iron fist, and remarkable for its public floggings, frequent executions, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.845 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, although Law & Order, Education, and Administration are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Freefolten. The average income tax rate is 93.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Foldakan economy, worth a remarkable 1,024 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, quite specialized 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 149,688 Alphas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Glittering new sports stadiums adorn every city and town, children are often punished for the sins of the fathers, witches' brews set off Geiger counters, and caps with skulls on them are the height of fashion. 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 263,112^th in the world and 10^th in Aurelius for Safest, scoring 11.61 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
