The Interplanetary Bastion of Folgoria is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by Commisaar Nael Laska with an iron fist, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, otherworldly petting zoo, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 21.788 billion Folgorians 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, with Law & Order also on the agenda, while International Aid is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Honorable Demophora. The average income tax rate is 99.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Folgorian economy, worth a remarkable 8,059 trillion Folgorites 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Arms Manufacturing and Information Technology. 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 amazing 369,886 Folgorites, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government is pouring money into 'Operation Enduring Democracy', the military conducts 'training exercises' in prisons, squeaky high prepubescent voices recite the patriotic poem "Hail to The Leader!" before each meal, and Dàguó is simultaneously dead and alive. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Folgoria's national animal is the Folgoria Folgoris, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Dystania.

Folgoria is ranked 97th in the world and 1st in Master Cloud for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector, scoring 156,546.45 on the Charon Conveyancy Index.
