The Republic of The green fork is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its lack of airports, complete lack of prisons, and hatred of cheese. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 6.357 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 and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Administration and Law & Order are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 1.1%.
The frighteningly efficient green forkian economy, worth a remarkable 1,130 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 177,825 currencies, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,345,758 per year while the poor average 6,605, a ratio of 203 to 1.
There's a mortuary next to every green forkian restaurant, undersea volcanoes receive strongly worded letters for violating environmental regulations, Leader likes it when another nation spies on their citizens, and several citizens have complained about scientists abducting their pets for experimentation. 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 93,804th in the world and 11th in Vickenian experiment containment zone for Most Stationary, with 490.1119779948 days.
