The Republic of The green fork is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its closed borders, cultivated feral children, and hatred of cheese. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 8.091 billion green forkians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The minute, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Industry, with Environment also on the agenda, while Administration and Law & Order receive no funds. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient green forkian economy, worth a remarkable 1,606 trillion currencies a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming and Retail. Average income is an impressive 198,607 currencies, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,555,838 per year while the poor average 6,389, a ratio of 243 to 1.

Group hugs break out during floor votes, the government terminates employment with extreme prejudice, former planespotters are dusting off long-abandoned anoraks, and tens of thousands of green forkians rock the night away at the annual SuperLob. Crime is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. The green fork's national animal is the animal, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The green fork is ranked 338,471^st in the world and 15^th in Vickenian experiment containment zone for Most Patriotic, with 0.21 flags saluted per person per day.
