“Contendunt nos esse optimum in omnibus”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Allied States of Flautun is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Peter Peterson with a fair hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, daily referendums, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 5.2 billion Flautunians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Barmi. The average income tax rate is 91.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Flautunian economy, worth 593 trillion Flauts a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 114,181 Flauts, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Shoppers have literally had their hands full since plastic bags were banned, the government seeks peaceful forum with terrorists, political satirists and late night comedians weep as the government begins cleaning up its act, and the government frequently panders to parents with boutique tax credits. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Flautun's national animal is the Flautunian Wild Short Tailed Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Flautun is ranked 10,705^th in the world and 627^th in Osiris for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 10,835.31 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
