The Free Peoples of Flurbleland is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Oswald the Slightly Inconvenient with an iron fist, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 5.392 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, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sub-Fweebleblargh. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 71.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Flurblelandian economy, worth a remarkable 1,209 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, Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Retail. 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 224,353 Skurglegloops, with the richest citizens earning 6.9 times as much as the poorest.

This year's televised Budget Forecast has been cancelled because there was already one last year, the government supplies ragtag bands of resistance fighters in exchange for vague promises of future payment, small shoes often wash up on the beach, and a National Academy regulates grammar and usage. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 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 284,345^th in the world and 6,714^th in the Rejected Realms for Safest, scoring 5.65 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
