The Commonwealth of Felpolandia is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Felps with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 16.978 billion Felpolandians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Felpolandia City. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Felpolandian economy, worth a remarkable 5,418 trillion Quicksilvers a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 319,137 Quicksilvers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Supervisors in Felpolandia commonly tie bells on their necks to alert employees of their presence, the government spends more on chasing distant comets than on basic infrastructure, Super Barry Brothers is the most popular video game in the nation, and health inspectors are seen eating black truffle fondue with their bottled water. Crime is totally unknown. Felpolandia's national animal is the Turtle, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is state atheism.

Felpolandia is ranked 1,231^st in the world and 162^nd in The North Pacific for Most Valuable International Artwork, with 505.32 Bank.
