The Glorious Hypocrisy of Flopmenistan is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Council of WEGs with a fair hand, and remarkable for its ban on automobiles, state-planned economy, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.523 billion Flopmenistanis 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 enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Jiafei. The average income tax rate is 90.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Flopmenistanian economy, worth 165 trillion Strikes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Arms Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 108,625 Strikes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The words 'private' and 'enterprise' must never appear in the same sentence, printing out government documents requires the approval of at least three admins, dissing one's former country is a prerequisite to apply for Flopmenistanian citizenship, and bars are packed at all hours. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Flopmenistan's national animal is the Gentoo Penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Flopmenistan is ranked 16,715th in the world and 52nd in the Outback for Highest Poor Incomes, with 99,438.24 Standard Monetary Units.
