The Republic of Fliadan is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Ilya Dyugurov with an iron fist, and renowned for its complete lack of prisons, keen interest in outer space, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 2.934 billion Fliadanians 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 large, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Welfare, Healthcare, and Education are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dunford. The average income tax rate is 66.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The thriving Fliadanian economy, worth 236 trillion Rubles a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 80,655 Rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Doctors who mutter "Oh my God" often lose their medical license, the nationalised Arms Manufacturing Industry is not interested in making weapons, airplane passengers who purchase "basic economy" tickets are often assigned seats in the lavatory, and the intelligence community is playing 4-D chess with an imaginary spy network. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fliadan's national animal is the Panther, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.
Fliadan is ranked 89,879th in the world and 9th in NationStates World Regions for Safest, scoring 86.27 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
