The Slippery Slope of The Lucky Flute

“To boldly go where no flute has gone before”

The Slippery Slope of The Lucky Flute is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Swive with an iron fist, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 28.944 billion Lucky Fluteans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Law & Order, although Education, Healthcare, and Defense are also considered important, while Spirituality and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bone Flute City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 23.8%.

The very strong Lucky Flutean economy, worth a remarkable 3,674 trillion Piccoloes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Furniture Restoration, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 126,966 Piccoloes, with the richest citizens earning 9.2 times as much as the poorest.

Cyber-crime and tin-foil hat sales are both increasing at record rates, frequent fliers are obliged to submit to invasive security procedures by government security, Ollie the Oiled Seal welcomes throngs of tourists to the newly opened Oil Oasis Water Park, and the government has hired out-of-work fashion designers to design purses for men. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Lucky Flute's national animal is the Flautist, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is a major religion.

The Lucky Flute is ranked 14,130^th in the world and 1^st in Band Camp for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1,281.13 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
