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

The Commonwealth of Twenty Thousand Fleas Under The Sea is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion, absence of drug laws, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 401 million Fleesians enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The minute, liberal, pro-business government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Defense, with Healthcare, Public Transport, and Administration also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.9%.

The strong Fleesian economy, worth 19.9 trillion Dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Trout Farming, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 49,731 Dollars, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 298,120 per year while the poor average 3,760, a ratio of 79.3 to 1.

Unemployed political consultants and advertisers spend every election night weeping for the good old days, organ donation is compulsory, and builders across Twenty Thousand Fleas Under The Sea are blocked up with orders for new public loos. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Twenty Thousand Fleas Under The Sea's national animal is the Dog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Twenty Thousand Fleas Under The Sea is ranked 274,272^nd in the world and 5,072^nd in The North Pacific for Most Patriotic, with 2.88 flags saluted per person per day.
