The High Funkiness of Funkadelia is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by James Brown with an even hand, and remarkable for its restrictive gun laws. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 2.35 billion are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Funky Nassau. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 47%. 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.

Protesters are up in arms over new nuclear power stations, a new generation of aquariumless hotels are being built under government supervision, the government has ordered a moratorium on referenda, and same-sex marriages are increasingly common. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is moderate. Funkadelia's national animal is the Atomic Dog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Clinton.

Funkadelia is ranked 1,072nd in the Pacific and 35,457th in the world for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 25 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
