The Federal Republic of Flooperton is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its ritual sacrifices, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.402 billion Floopertonians 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 large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Social Policy. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Flooptor. The average income tax rate is 69.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Floopertonian economy, worth 137 trillion flooperoos a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 97,975 flooperoos, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded 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 267,219^th in the world and 2,200^th in the West Pacific for Most Primitive, scoring -169.91 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
