The Federation of Flukeworms is a tiny, safe nation, renowned for its compulsory military service and punitive income tax rates. The quiet, industrious population of 12 million Flukeworms are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 52.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Flukewormsian economy, worth 400 billion Livers a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Trout Farming, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 33,355 Livers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

The mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas and citizens are barcoded to keep track of their movements. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Flukeworms's national animal is the Deinococcus radiodurans.

Flukeworms is ranked 292,872^nd in the world and 4^th in DopplerSonar for Most Developed, scoring 50.37 on the Human Development Index.
