The Free Land of Flowers 83 is a colossal, socially progressive nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, zero percent divorce rate, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 7.099 billion Flowers 83ians 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 9.9%.

The very strong Flowers 83ian economy, worth 500 trillion Sunshines a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Furniture Restoration, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 70,540 Sunshines, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

The government is a clear-cut case of tyranny by majority, excessive wheelchair ramps on government buildings have been compared to theme park attractions, discarded pennies litter the streets, and grade school teachers mark homework with red "CITATION NEEDED" stamps. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Flowers 83's national animal is the Honey bee, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Flowers 83 is ranked 217,948^th in the world and 88^th in Flowers for Highest Food Quality, scoring 10.49 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
