The Kingdom of Flaarb is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic population of 24.052 billion Flaarbians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.
The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 68.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The large but stagnant Flaarbian economy, worth 275 trillion Meetbaalls 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 a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Retail, Arms Manufacturing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Trout Farming. 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 11,448 Meetbaalls, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Tourists from around the world come to visit the country's famous rainforests, TV shows must meet strict ethnicity quotas, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, and military funding has been stripped back. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Flaarb's national animal is the Couchpotato, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Flaarb is ranked 136,010th in the world and 7,234th in Balder for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 516.87 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
