The Democratic Republic of Fletteland is a mammoth, orderly nation, notable for its lack of airports, fear of technology, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 6.972 billion Tauraise are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Spirituality, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cathare. The average income tax rate is 22.6%.

The strong Taurese economy, worth 334 trillion Fusean Credits a year, is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Pizza Delivery, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 48,023 Fusean Credits, with the richest citizens earning 5.3 times as much as the poorest.

75% of the words in government-funded "Super Fun Maths Games" are probably inaccurate, gay hospital patients are labelled with a pink triangle to alert staff of their substandard blood, married couples must call each other "darling" or risk a fine, and police reduce their paperwork by refusing to arrest anyone. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fletteland's national animal is the Bull, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Trinitism.

Fletteland is ranked 70,565^th in the world and 21^st in Saint Helene for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 1,753.95 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
