The United States of Fortiza is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Ferko Mrkvicka with a fair hand, and remarkable for its national health service, complete lack of prisons, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-working, democratic population of 1.349 billion Fortizans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fortiz City. The average income tax rate is 28.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Fortizan economy, worth 157 trillion Covids a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Tourism, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 116,611 Covids, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

The question "please would you...?" is usually laden with passive aggression, homeless people can be found sleeping on streets in front of unoccupied second homes, it is believed that belligerence is a passing phase foreign leaders will soon outgrow, and Fortizans have recently stopped mysteriously setting off metal detectors. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Fortiza's national animal is the Unicorn.

Fortiza is ranked 29,370^th in the world and 1,297^th in Balder for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 5,176.32 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
