The Peoples Republic of North Fluedan is a gargantuan, genial nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, frequent executions, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical population of 14.301 billion Fluedanes are ruled with an iron fist by the socialist government, which grants its people the freedom to do whatever they like so long as it doesn't involve getting richer than anybody else or challenging the government.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ville de Lafayette. The average income tax rate is 95.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Fluedanian economy, worth a remarkable 1,612 trillion Fluedanian Assignats 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 dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Trout Farming. Average income is an impressive 112,751 Fluedanian Assignats, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government funds large training centres to turn Beavers into functioning members of society, atheistic refugees haven't got a prayer of being granted asylum, it turns out you can teach cats new tricks, and young children are learning advanced physics to scientifically disprove the existence of Santa Claus. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. North Fluedan's national animal is the Beaver, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is State Atheism.

North Fluedan is ranked 2,519^th in the world and 122^nd in The Communist Bloc for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 3,748.6 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
