The Federation of 180 Flip is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Leader with an even hand, and remarkable for its superstitious fear of technology. Its compassionate population of 3.587 billion are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is mainly concerned with Education, although Social Welfare and Social Equality are secondary priorities. The average income tax rate is 73%, and even higher for the wealthy. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

The nation is completely gun-free, children are brainwashed at a young age to accept "Love and peace!" as a way of life, cheese has become the new icon of political dissent, and the government spends millions of 180s every year prosecuting spammers. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is crippling, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. 180 Flip's national animal is the Flip, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, its national religion is a major religion, and its currency is the 180.

180 Flip is ranked 1st in Baldr and 11,921st in the world for Most Influential, scoring 34 on the Soft Power Disbursement Rating.
