The Rogue Nation of Flibbleites is a gargantuan, devout nation, ruled by Brandon Flibble with an iron fist, and remarkable for its hatred of cheese. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 20.474 billion are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The government -- a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, moralistic morass -- juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Religion & Spirituality, and Defence. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Delta City. The average income tax rate is 48%, but much higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, followed by Beef-Based Agriculture and Uranium Mining.

It is illegal to make racist remarks in public, euthanasia is illegal, a National Academy regulates grammar and usage, and nursing mothers are often arrested for indecent exposure. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Flibbleites's national animal is the chocobo, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the Flib.

Flibbleites is ranked 4th in Final Fantasy and 67,826th in the world for Largest Public Sector, scoring 10 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
