The Republic of Flontonia is a small, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, zero percent divorce rate, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 40 million Flontonians 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, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Administration, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 39.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Flontonian economy, worth 1.73 trillion kronor a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Uranium Mining, and Tourism. Average income is 43,136 kronor, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Pre-takeoff checks last longer than the flights themselves, women who walk into the ladies' changing room are accused of being Peeping Toms, blind dates reemerge as a necessary evil in the quest for love, and fashion magazine covers finally display realistic body images following photo-manipulation becoming illegal. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Flontonia's national animal is the swan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Flontonia is ranked 74,171^st in the world and 1,296^th in the South Pacific for Most Patriotic, with 18.9 flags saluted per person per day.
