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

The Most Serene Republic of Funky Flea is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic population of 2.415 billion Funky Fleans 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 Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 67.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Funky Flean economy, worth 17.1 trillion bloods a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Pizza Delivery, Retail, and Soda Sales. Average income is 7,061 bloods, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Funky Flea's national animal is the flea flea, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Funky Flea is ranked 231,023^rd in the world and 12^th in Pussy for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 211.41 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
