The Commonwealth of Flourish is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Poltin Uruta with an even hand, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, ban on automobiles, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate population of 3.438 billion Flouresians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Isla Villituba. The average income tax rate is 83.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Flouresian economy, worth 450 trillion Lutons a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 130,902 Lutons, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A death threat has replaced 'hello' as an official greeting in the nation, foreign musicians that Poltin Uruta dislikes are turned away at the border, the Flouresian football team for the Maxxmas ceasefire consists only of Intelligence Corps personnel, and Flouresians submit requests for a date in writing with an enclosed RSVP card. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Flourish's national animal is the Finch, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Finchism.

Flourish is ranked 141,874^th in the world and 5^th in Intropicus for Largest Basket Weaving Sector, scoring 2,097.07 on the Hickory Productivity Index.
