The Queen's State of Global Forum is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by the Governor with a fair hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 26.83 billion Global Forumians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The relatively small, outspoken government prioritizes Education, although Law & Order, Healthcare, and Welfare are also considered important, while Spirituality and Social Policy are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.8%.

The thriving Global Forumian economy, worth a remarkable 1,113 trillion betales a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Soda Sales, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 41,489 betales, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 123,360 per year while the poor average 10,939, a ratio of 11.3 to 1.

A large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, Global Forum has designated Capital Heights as its capital city, and the Governor has just been declared ruler of Global Forum in an international press conference. Crime is moderate. Global Forum's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Global Forum is ranked 16,832nd in the world and 3rd in Warsaw for Most Stationary, with 1,728.2575050256 days.
