The Republic of -floptropica- is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its deadly medical pandemics, free-roaming dinosaurs, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 2.277 billion Floptropicans are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government prioritizes Industry, although Law & Order, Education, and Administration are also considered important, while Spirituality and Welfare are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 11.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Floptropican economy, worth 349 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Tourism, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 153,662 Dollars, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 699,323 per year while the poor average 20,641, a ratio of 33.9 to 1.

The government has officially clarified that "wee on your hands to save time" does not count as proper hygiene, office thieves tell their employers kleptomania is a pregnancy symptom, frowning on the job is a great way to get a raise, and leisure is a crime in ski towns. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. -floptropica-'s national animal is the Lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

-floptropica- is ranked 217,651^st in the world and 12,267^th in Lazarus for Safest, scoring 51.6 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
