Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Fratt of Flat Roofing Alliance is a colossal, socially progressive nation, notable for its complete lack of public education. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 5.904 billion 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.

There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded individuals juggles the competing demands of Commerce, Social Welfare, and the Environment. The average income tax rate is 10%, but much 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.

Copyright laws have been abolished, the government is slowly introducing social welfare programs, Flat Roofing Alliance's children are widely acknowledged as the most foul-mouthed in the region, and the nation is ravaged by daily union strikes. Crime is moderate, probably because of the country's utter lack of prisons. Flat Roofing Alliance's national animal is the wolfhound, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the pound.

Flat Roofing Alliance is ranked 313th in Kyzikos and 80,073rd in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -2 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
