The Republic of Fluorine is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its compulsory vegetarianism, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 259 million Fluorineans 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, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 73.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Fluorinean economy, worth 2.53 trillion guilders a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 9,782 guilders, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's water should not be ingested while operating heavy machinery, prisons in Fluorine are the summer homes of murderers, foreign policy often involves bullwhips and leather, and preschoolers practice disarming active shooters before naptime. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fluorine's national animal is the horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Fluorine is ranked 48,118^th in the world and 9^th in womp for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 48.45 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
