The Republic of Fluteburg is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Empathetic President Ben with a fair hand, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, otherworldly petting zoo, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.992 billion Fluteburgians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bureaucracy city. The average income tax rate is 96.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Fluteburgian economy, worth 523 trillion Flute-Coins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Cheese Exports. Average income is an impressive 174,968 Flute-Coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Raver DJ XStacy holds multiple medical degrees in chillaxing, films are funded in accordance with the volume of tears shed when reading the screenplay, celebrities sit helplessly as they are labeled "pompous womples" by Empathetic President Ben, and government ministers sport new billboards that read 'Will Trade Votes for Private Members' Bill Support'. Crime is totally unknown. Fluteburg's national animal is the Flute-Animal, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is None.

Fluteburg is ranked 5,191st in the world and 225th in Osiris for Highest Poor Incomes, with 159,009.71 Standard Monetary Units.
