The World-State of Fulkri is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Ford-Controller with an iron fist, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies, avant-garde cinema, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 25.179 billion World Citizens are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fordston. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 35.9%.

The powerhouse Fulkrian economy, worth a remarkable 2,135 trillion Fords a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, highly specialized black market in Uranium Mining, Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Information Technology. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 84,830 Fords, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 273,281 per year while the poor average 19,929, a ratio of 13.7 to 1.

The government is attempting to impose a new national language on the public, people reciting Shakespeare have become a common sight, over a third of the seats in sports stadiums have been removed to make room for female-only commodes, and the nation's universities are often mistaken for foreign embassies. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Fulkri's national animal is the Ford T-model, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Fordism.

Fulkri is ranked 35,474th in the world and 1st in Brave New World for Most Stationary, with 1,274.04507349952 days.
