The Loving Couple of -ForThe-Future is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by Palisman with an iron fist, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, public floggings, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 7.31 billion -ForThe-Futureans 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, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bat Queen Den. The average income tax rate is 73.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient -ForThe-Futurean economy, worth 557 trillion snails a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Basket Weaving, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 76,329 snails, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Big Agriculture has the government by the nuts, children asked by parents to 'guess how much I love you' ask for the cash value, the cancellation of "The Real Vixens of Bat Queen Den" has been described as a real blow for entertainment, and the people's love for Palisman is little more than self-preservation. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. -ForThe-Future's national animal is the owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Cards.

-ForThe-Future is ranked 63,991st in the world and 1st in DominosCounrtyRegion for Most Developed, scoring 72.89 on the Human Development Index.
