Average income is 99,514 Grooves, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown. Funkadelia's national animal is the Atomic Dog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Funkadelia is ranked 317,150^th in the world and 1,083^rd in Carcassonne for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring zero on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
