Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Imperium of Figltopia is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Praetor Longinus Celsus Aurelius with an iron fist, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space. Its hard-nosed, cynical population of 3.228 billion are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Education, and Social Equality. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Loftia. The average income tax rate is 98%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Tourism industry, followed by Information Technology and Gambling.

The government encourages conflict abroad to increase arms sales, the nation has welcomed its expats back with open arms, the government is spending millions on renovating the public transportation system, and parents must choose their children's names from a government-mandated master list. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Figltopia's national animal is the Combat Wombat, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the FIGL Dollar.

Figltopia is ranked 3rd in The Royal Alliance and 8,698th in the world for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 71 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
