The Kingdom of Flandonips is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Kyriakos II with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, compulsory military service, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed population of 3.603 billion Flandonipsians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Posidaea. The average income tax rate is 87.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Flandonipsian economy, worth 593 trillion baht a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 164,849 baht, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Holiday light displays just aren't the same without seizure-inducing strobe effects, Flandonips recently hosted the least successful trade negotiations since The Phantom Menace, towns that stop turning a profit are turned into animal sanctuaries, and Loud Patriotic Music Day has been ranked the seventh best new holiday of the year. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Flandonips's national animal is the snake, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Flandonips is ranked 12,387^th in the world and 630^th in The North Pacific for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1,362.71 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
