The Crown Commonwealth of Interflumnibia is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, ruled by Lady Romilly MacAndrew with an even hand, and remarkable for its lack of airports, compulsory military service, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, devout population of 7.525 billion Flodders 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bootle. The average income tax rate is 30.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Interflumnibian economy, worth 506 trillion Livres a year, is quite specialized and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Furniture Restoration, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 67,258 Livres, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

History lessons resemble a who's-who and how's-how of crime, politicians are often found scavenging bins at night to supplement their income, city-slickers are jelly of all the farmland the government is giving away, and the 'three Rs' have become the 'four Rs' with the addition of Rightful Thought. Crime is totally unknown. Interflumnibia's national animal is the Kestrel, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Hjaltism.

Interflumnibia is ranked 23,355th in the world and 1,375th in Balder for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 3,053.59 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
