The Free Finklian Nation of North Southest Finkleton is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Eternal Leader Gerald Fink with an iron fist, and notable for its complete lack of prisons, strictly enforced bedtime, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 1.062 billion Finks are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Geraldston. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 33.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Finkletonian economy, worth 153 trillion Finksmarks a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 144,812 Finksmarks, with the richest citizens earning 9.8 times as much as the poorest.

New "Worker's Strike" laws set out who is allowed to strike a worker, bilingual Finks are viewed with suspicion, universities now offer degrees in cycling etiquette, and Eternal Leader Gerald Fink is the self-declared God of all North Southest Finkleton. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. North Southest Finkleton's national animal is the Gambinklian Pouched Sewer Rat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Finklianism.

North Southest Finkleton is ranked 314,750th in the world and 13th in Finktopia for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring -16.12 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
