The United Socialist States of Florcian is a very large, genial nation, remarkable for its conspicuous electricity pylons, digital currency, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical population of 381 million Florcianians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Social Policy. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ramo. The average income tax rate is 82.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Florcianian economy, worth 23.0 trillion Solis a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is 60,422 Solis, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Civil engineers are undermining sinkholes, people stand their fridges back-to-front to benefit from the free heating, vital intelligence-gathering activities are put on hold as agents return home for seduction training and advanced poker instruction, and there's a shortage of swinging hot spots as land development grinds to a halt. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Florcian's national animal is the Bracklbore, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Florcian is ranked 268,634^th in the world and 34^th in Fallen Nations for Least Corrupt Governments, with 90.7 percentage of bribes refused.
