The Host of Four B F B is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Four with an iron fist, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, state-planned economy, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.942 billion Four B F Bians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 44.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Four B F Bian economy, worth 87.7 trillion screeches 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 major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 45,181 screeches, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

It is cheaper to die in the wilderness than to survive, boys are forced to pair off for the school disco slow dance as the girls are all staying at home, government theft from poor artists to give to rich allies has been dubbed the "reverse Robin Hood" policy, and a major religion has been named as Four B F B's national religion. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Four B F B's national animal is the Fourse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Four B F B is ranked 93,169th in the world and 6th in BFB Teams for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 2,501.84 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
