The People's Republic of Fluffy Noodles is a huge, genial nation, remarkable for its pith helmet sales, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 710 million Fluffy Noodlesians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dragon Creek. The average income tax rate is 66.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Fluffy Noodlesian economy, worth 62.0 trillion Ramens a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 87,330 Ramens, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

The "temporary replacement bus service" is now a permanent fixture, psychiatrists that date patients are congratulated on their romantic conquests, eerie glow-in-the-dark cornfields give farmlands an uncanny appearance, and noises louder than a whisper have been prohibited by law. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fluffy Noodles's national animal is the Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Fluffy Noodles is ranked 74,411^th in the world and 3,810^th in The North Pacific for Largest Basket Weaving Sector, scoring 2,689.94 on the Hickory Productivity Index.
