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

The State of Flandonips is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Panagiotis Dimitriidis with an iron fist, and notable for its daily referendums, smutty television, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.361 billion Flandonipsians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sentanun. The average income tax rate is 79.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Flandonipsian economy, worth 217 trillion baht a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Trout Farming, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 160,004 baht, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Nothing gets the party jumping like Panagiotis Dimitriidis specifying how high, the examiners who examine examiners are being examined by examiners, students learn how to disarm mines before understanding basic arithmetic, and wars of expansion are described as "peacekeeping operations". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Flandonips's national animal is the snake, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Flandonips is ranked 53,670^th in the world and 1,629^th in The North Pacific for Highest Wealthy Incomes, with 232,534 Standard Monetary Units.
