The Fourdom of Answer 4 is a mammoth, orderly nation, ruled by Four-um Mod with an iron fist, and renowned for its closed borders, deadly medical pandemics, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 7.296 billion Aforians 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 prioritizes Administration, with Industry, Healthcare, and Public Transport also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fourth Fort Fourmosa. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 78.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Aforian economy, worth a remarkable 1,035 trillion Quarters a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Retail, Uranium Mining, Furniture Restoration, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is an impressive 141,964 Quarters, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 471,727 per year while the poor average 31,861, a ratio of 14.8 to 1.

Corrupt industrial practices are spreading like a plague, citizens are enjoying a recent large cut in taxes, public shaming is the bedrock of Aforian society, and prisoners fit in their parole hearings around their spa treatments. Crime is pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Answer 4's national animal is the Four Legged Animal, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Fourian Messianic Monotheism.

Answer 4 is ranked 307,905^th in the world and 31^st in Testregionia for Most Cultured, scoring 8 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
