The Constitutional Monarchy of Flutterderpia is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by The Rt Hon King Flutterderp I with an even hand, and remarkable for its punitive income tax rates. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 1.736 billion enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, liberal, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Social Equality, Education, and the Environment. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Toronderp. The average income tax rate is 87%, and even 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.

The wearing and manufacture of fur apparel is banned, prison visits increase substantially during election years, politicians constantly ring their voters to remind them how good a job they're doing, and students are known to arrive at school in their pyjamas. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is crippling, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Flutterderpia's national animal is the Pegasus, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Derp.

Flutterderpia is ranked 4th in Caballete Equus and 9,345th in the world for Largest Public Sector, scoring 22 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
