The Kingdom of Florand is a huge, genial nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-working population of 728 million Florandeses enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The tiny government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Florium. The average income tax rate is 8.5%.

The strong Florandese economy, worth 45.0 trillion Grinas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Furniture Restoration, and Book Publishing. Average income is 61,760 Grinas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.6 times as much as the poorest.

A popular saying is "a chicken for every pot and an abortion clinic on every street", things are looking up for patients accidentally prescribed erectile dysfunction medication, mantis shrimp studies is academia's fastest-growing field, and the government is engaging in an agricultural trade war with Maxtopia. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control. Florand's national animal is the Jaguar, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Florand is ranked 40,341^st in the world and 196^th in Europe for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 4,637.4 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
