The Archduchy of Foreskyrim is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Viceroy de Foreskyrim with an even hand, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, otherworldly petting zoo, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 16.491 billion Foreskyrimians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The medium-sized, corrupt government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Industry, Administration, and Education are also considered important, while Welfare is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Foreskyrim City. The average income tax rate is 76.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Foreskyrimian economy, worth a remarkable 3,350 trillion Martis Golds 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, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Uranium Mining. 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 203,169 Martis Golds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.
Occam's razor has sliced to pieces any childhood belief in Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy, the people are famous throughout the region for their perfect yellow teeth, slavery has been abolished, and former slave-owners hope there are no hard feelings when they apply for jobs from their erstwhile charges. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Foreskyrim's national animal is the Wolf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Genesiusiany.
Foreskyrim is ranked 151,029th in the world and 19th in Genesius Union for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 1,593.36 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
