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

The United Kingdom of Fliptastic is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by His Highness King George III with an even hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, ubiquitous missile silos, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-working, devout population of 1.403 billion Flippers 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Filadelphia. The average income tax rate is 32.9%.

The strong Flipponese economy, worth 72.3 trillion florins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Furniture Restoration, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 51,508 florins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

Political cartoons depicting His Highness King George III's face on a business's buttocks are selling like hotcakes, the government is hoping that medical aid will speak louder than human rights abuses, the police are destroying all photographic evidence of their own existence, and immigrant herding has become a national pastime. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Fliptastic's national animal is the business, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is reading John 3 16.

Fliptastic is ranked 209,278^th in the world and 1,218^th in Europe for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring -0.99 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
