The People's Republic of Fluvik Unian is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, strictly enforced bedtime, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 400 million Fluvik Unianians 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, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 68.5%.
The all-consuming Fluvik Unianian economy, worth 40.1 trillion florins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 100,258 florins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.4 times as much as the poorest.
A life spent suffering in silence is considered noble, drill sergeants yell in the ears of bespectacled nerds in cybermilitary "reboot camps", earthquake sirens are a leading cause of hearing loss, and there's an aura of pseudoscience around academia. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fluvik Unian's national animal is the falcon, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Fluvik Unian is ranked 199,320th in the world and 3,560th in The East Pacific for Fattest Citizens, with 9.53 Obesity Rate.
