The Kingdom of Folik is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Willem van der Zwan with an even hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, anti-smoking policies, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cheerful population of 15.175 billion Folish are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government prioritizes Education, with Healthcare, Law & Order, and Administration also on the agenda, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sulko. The average income tax rate is 99.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Folish economy, worth a remarkable 2,740 trillion Folish Dollars a year, is highly specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 180,596 Folish Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Protecting the land is holey work, the nation's counterintelligence budget is all up in the air, stranded mountaineers can watch livestreamed footage of their rescues, and the nation's museums are real penny-pinchers. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Folik's national animal is the Emperor Penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Zoranism.

Folik is ranked 293,010th in the world and 13th in New Coalition of Nations for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 1,083.58 Standard Monetary Units.
