The Democratic People's Republic of Ficklovia is a colossal, genial nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, free-roaming dinosaurs, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 4.763 billion Ficklovians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Potemkingrad. The average income tax rate is 98.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Ficklovian economy, worth 755 trillion Fickloes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 158,668 Fickloes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government is washing its hands of alleged corruption, selling advanced CPUs to anti-Ficklovian terrorists is no chip on the government's shoulders, treason is relative, and legislators work 24/7 due to an influx of single-issue bills. Crime is totally unknown. Ficklovia's national animal is the Gandras, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Ficklovia is ranked 303,366^th in the world and 776^th in The Leftist Assembly for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -15.56 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
