The Republic of Flopfarm 158 is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its enslaved workforce, ubiquitous missile silos, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate, cynical, humorless, devout population of 3.807 billion Flopfarm 158ians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.
The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 54.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Flopfarm 158ian economy, worth 477 trillion Flops a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 125,505 Flops, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.
Surveillance cameras are banned, pop sensation "Jack and the Holograms" is storming the charts, military barracks resemble five-star hotels, and parents giddily refuse to pay their toddlers' medical bills. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Flopfarm 158's national animal is the Flop, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Flopfarm 158 is ranked 96,409th in the world and 456th in Unintelligent Puppet Storage for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 3,250.09 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
