The Pirateering State of Foril-Beta is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Beta Beta with an even hand, and remarkable for its public floggings, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 5.587 billion Foril-Betans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Beta City. The average income tax rate is 51.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Foril-Betan economy, worth 428 trillion Beta Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 76,730 Beta Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Sometimes a whole prison wing will house a single prisoner, life expectancies inside correctional facilities vastly exceed the national average, election ballot papers are so long that unused ones are recycled as toilet roll, and children gain their first sex education from reading the dictionary. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Foril-Beta's national animal is the Beta-Class, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Betaism.

Foril-Beta is ranked 259,330th in the world and 5,897th in the Rejected Realms for Most Stationary, with 15.48174703612 days.
