The Federal Republic of Flooperton is a huge, genial nation, notable for its daily referendums, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 692 million Floopertonians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Flooptor. The average income tax rate is 66.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Floopertonian economy, worth 64.3 trillion flooperoos a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 92,973 flooperoos, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

UFO sightings are listed daily in the morning news, the government helps teach children how to kill a man from six paces, snooze factory is now prison lingo for rehabilitation center, and the standard police uniform now comes with several colours of belt. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Flooperton's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Flooperton is ranked 209,059^th in the world and 1,335^th in the West Pacific for Most Corrupt Governments, with 2.52 kickbacks per hour.
