The Nomadic Peoples of Flitswarm Eta is a huge, safe nation, notable for its state-planned economy, absence of drug laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic population of 356 million Flitswarm Etans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.
The medium-sized, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 23.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but sluggish Flitswarm Etan economy, worth 9.75 trillion flits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Pizza Delivery, Tourism, Cheese Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 27,391 flits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Crime is totally unknown. Flitswarm Eta's national animal is the flit, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Flitswarm Eta is ranked 26,924th in the world and 1st in The pacific ring for Most Extreme, scoring 42.19 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
