The Edited Nation Classification of Fledermausmann is a massive, genial nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space. Its compassionate population of 3.258 billion are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government -- a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass -- juggles the competing demands of Social Welfare, Education, and Commerce. The average income tax rate is 44%, but much higher for the wealthy. A large private sector is led by the Information Technology industry, followed by Automobile Manufacturing and Woodchip Exports.

Welfare funding has recently gone through the roof, the government has ordered a moratorium on referenda, billions of fangs are being poured into a space program, and airport security is provided by private companies. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fledermausmann's national animal is the fledermaus, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the fang.

Fledermausmann is ranked 6th in Angolis and 37,868th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
