The Free Peoples of Flurbleland is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Oswald the Slightly Inconvenient with an iron fist, and remarkable for its closed borders, strictly enforced bedtime, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 5.2 billion Flurblelandians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sub-Fweebleblargh. The average income tax rate is 70.1%.
The frighteningly efficient Flurblelandian economy, worth a remarkable 1,131 trillion Skurglegloops 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. 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 an amazing 217,623 Skurglegloops, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.
The phrase "you might think that but I couldn't possibly comment" is the closest you'll get to a straight answer from Flurblelandian politicians, it's rare to find an unchewed pencil, first-time moms are expected to be experienced parents from day one, and teen boys and girls find stick-figure-aided lectures on their comradestruation emphasises socialist unity more than biology. Crime is a problem, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Flurbleland's national animal is the Slightly Blue Parrotfish, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Antipathy.
Flurbleland is ranked 203,512th in the world and 4,385th in the Rejected Realms for Most Stationary, with 43.294763958 days.
