The Car Lovers of FourOnTheFloor is a gargantuan, safe nation, notable for its compulsory military service, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 13.692 billion FourOnTheFloorians 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 enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 66.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient FourOnTheFloorian economy, worth 550 trillion Clutches a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 40,174 Clutches, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Recruitment posters proclaim the army to be both fabulous and fashionable, conductors wield diamond-encrusted batons to fit in with their freshly gilded surroundings, all major public areas are watched by police surveillance cameras, and fewer people are bathing as citizens must show ration stamps before they can turn on their faucets. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. FourOnTheFloor's national animal is the Camaro, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

FourOnTheFloor is ranked 34,254th in the world and 4th in Niagara for Most Stationary, with 1,295.4311500902 days.
