The Free Land of Fleischmannstadt

“Strength Through Freedom”

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

The Free Land of Fleischmannstadt is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Octavianus with an even hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, smutty television, and aversion to nipples. The hard-nosed, democratic, humorless population of 14.621 billion Fleischmannstadtians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The tiny, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Marklinstadt. The average income tax rate is 12.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Fleischmannstadtian economy, worth a remarkable 2,874 trillion Franks 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 a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Soda Sales, 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 impressive 196,611 Franks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

Cars speed down national highways while drivers sleep at the wheel, the government keeps introducing new foreign species to combat the previous ones it has introduced, escaped birthday balloons are torpedoed out of the sky, and politicians tend to jump ship to whichever party is currently leading in the polls. Crime, especially youth-related, is moderate. Fleischmannstadt's national animal is the Lemming, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Waikiki.

Fleischmannstadt is ranked 84,535^th in the world and 80^th in Vlaanderen for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 2,476.62 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
