The Federated Principality of Fluvannia is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Crown Prince Michael with a fair hand, and remarkable for its deadly medical pandemics, smutty television, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 7.288 billion Fluvannians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Oshkosh. The average income tax rate is 46.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Fluvannian economy, worth a remarkable 1,239 trillion Marks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 170,140 Marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Baby dolls thrown in the trash are a leading cause of panic attacks, the 'kind of scrawny' 500 meter hurdle is a popular event, the "Dreadnowt" is the pride and joy of the Fluvannian Navy, and 'The Anti-Government Hour' is a popular programme on many of Fluvannia's radio stations. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fluvannia's national animal is the Bear, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Fluvannia is ranked 21,175^th in the world and 15^th in Republic of Conservative Nations for Highest Food Quality, scoring 108.1 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
