Fallooplesburg

Overview

The Commonwealth of Fallooplesburg is a mid-sized, genial nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, frequent executions, and irreverence towards religion. The cynical population of about 16.03 million Fallooplesburgians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Belem. The average income tax rate is 18.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Fallooplesburgian economy, worth roughly 1 trillion scraps a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 64,234 scraps, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Census workers struggle to account for the rapidly increasing number of citizens to tabulate, teams of painters are converting road signs from horse lengths to kilometers, and 'The Anti-Government Hour' is a popular programme on many of Fallooplesburg's radio stations. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fallooplesburg's national animal is the Elephant.
