Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Rogue Nation of Flibbleites is a gargantuan, devout nation, ruled by Brandon Flibble with an even hand, and notable for its suspicion of poets. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 18.282 billion have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The government -- a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt 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 47%, 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.

Voting is compulsory, genetic researchers have been expelled, the armed forces are locked in an expensive and bloody war abroad to stamp out possible terrorists, and shaken martini sales have soared in nations surrounding Flibbleites. 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 1st in Final Fantasy and 1,327th in the world for Most Influential, scoring 118 on the Soft Power Disbursement Rating.
