The Republic of Flundwity is a massive, safe nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, parental licensing program, and national health service. The democratic population of 1.499 billion Flundwityians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 28.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Flundwityian economy, worth 63.1 trillion euros a year, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 42,082 euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Code enforcement officers circle wealthy Flundwityians like vultures, murderers frequently escape punishment by claiming they were protecting their honour, making up random numbers to name new asteroids is the bulk of astronomers' work, and the nation's counterintelligence budget is all up in the air. Crime is totally unknown. Flundwity's national animal is the kiwi, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Flundwity is ranked 223,877^th in the world and 29^th in The Great Monarchical Nations for Largest Populations, with 1.50 billion capita.
