The Federal Republic of Fluellis is a tiny, safe nation, remarkable for its burgeoning emu population. The compassionate, hard-working population of 10 million Fluellisians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Healthcare, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 20.7%.

The very strong Fluellisian economy, worth 607 billion kronor a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Gambling. Average income is 60,717 kronor, with the richest citizens earning 9.2 times as much as the poorest.

A well-funded social safety net protects the unfortunate, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, and ritual mummification is making a comeback. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fluellis's national animal is the emu, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Fluellis is ranked 49,095^th in the world and 184^th in Horizon for Nicest Citizens, with 17.69 average smiles per day.
