The Republic of Foundatis is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Commander-in-Chief with a fair hand, and notable for its national health service, sprawling nuclear power plants, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 26.049 billion Foundatii are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal government is primarily concerned with Education, although Environment, Law & Order, and Welfare are also considered important, while Spirituality and Defense receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Luscinia. The average income tax rate is 70.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Foundatian economy, worth a remarkable 2,203 trillion Auruses a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 84,601 Auruses, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens are allowed to rise or fall based on their own merits, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, royalist is the most offensive slur in the Foundatian language, and it is illegal to make racist remarks in public. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Foundatis's national animal is the Golden Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Foundatis is ranked 171,606^th in the world and 3^rd in Confederation of Nations for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 24,788.35 Standard Monetary Units.
