The Free Land of Floopia is a huge, genial nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, state-planned economy, and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic population of 598 million Floopians 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 relatively small, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 21.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Floopian economy, worth 33.6 trillion Floopians 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 Basket Weaving, Retail, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 56,234 Floopians, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Gallery of Instasnap is the most popular museum in the country, reporters who negatively comment on politicians' haircuts are cut from the news, snooze factory is now prison lingo for rehabilitation center, and the well-to-do in Porinia are never on time for important appointments. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Floopia's national animal is the Sneaky Salmon, which can occasionally be seen avoiding garbage in the nation's murky oceans.

Floopia is ranked 40,731^st in the world and 1^st in Porinia for Most Cultured, scoring 76 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
