“Oh well there's always tomorrow”

The Republic of Flinko is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Leader with an even hand, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 6.18 billion are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, the Environment, and Social Welfare. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Flinko City. The average income tax rate is 100%. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising fourteen-year-old boys selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

The government has ordered a moratorium on referenda, the nation has opened its arms to an influx of refugees, the mining industry has taken a hit from tighter environmental regulations, and abortions are routinely performed in Flinko's hospitals. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Flinko's national animal is the cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the wonder.

Flinko is ranked 3973rd in the region and 54,097th in the world for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector.
