The Dictatorship of Floridia is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Kenny with an iron fist, and remarkable for its strictly enforced bedtime, frequent executions, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 2.386 billion Floridians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Education, Law & Order, and Industry also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Public Transport receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Palmetto. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 45.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Floridian economy, worth 359 trillion Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Retail, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 150,492 Dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 471,014 per year while the poor average 36,874, a ratio of 12.8 to 1.

Battlefield gains are quickly lost when enemies don't respect a time-out, many politicians are in rehab for minor drug offenses, citizens who don't follow a major religion are closely monitored for signs of self-harm, and the dessert 'Death by Chocolate' isn't the most lethal dish on the menu. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Floridia's national animal is the Crocodile, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Floridia is ranked 280,393rd in the world and 10,627th in Lazarus for Highest Food Quality, scoring 5.72 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
