The Free Land of Flowers 73 is a colossal, genial nation, renowned for its strictly enforced bedtime, ban on automobiles, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 7.021 billion Flowers 73ians 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 Welfare, Defense, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.8%.

The strong Flowers 73ian economy, worth 417 trillion Sunshines a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Furniture Restoration, and Soda Sales. Average income is 59,431 Sunshines, with the richest citizens earning 8.3 times as much as the poorest.

Rich people sell their mansions to pay for endless rows of mobile homes, every new building project has to undergo a five-year environmental impact study before it can go ahead, minorities play dumb to get more welfare payments, and there's a bright dawn ahead for Flowers 73. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent. Flowers 73's national animal is the Honey bee, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Flowers 73 is ranked 67,789^th in the world and 8^th in Flowers for Most Beautiful Environments, with 619.92 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
