The Commonwealth of Fallooplesburg is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Queen Erika von Mairel with an iron fist, and notable for its frequent executions, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical population of 67 million Fallooplesburgians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent monarch, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The medium-sized 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 28.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The fairly struggling Fallooplesburgian economy, worth 1.49 trillion Sheckels a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Mining. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 22,346 Sheckels, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
People can't decide between preserving forests and buying print copies of 'Dogman Versus The Giggler', future forecasters fearfully discuss grey goo and human obsolescence, heartfelt sentiments are mercilessly marketed by a million-Sheckel treacle machine, and when you fly on Air Fallooplesburg you win a seat or you die.The military is recruiting war criminals to join its weapons research teams, the number of students attending university has reached a record high, and criminals and college students are taking an interest in the government's new weed-killing program. 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 Sheep, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Fallooplesburgian Mythology.
History
843-1091: The Zæntom Era
During the mid-800s the richest, most powerful families in what would become Fallooplesburg herded their local citizens together and created several small monarchies known as Zæntoms (the Fallooplesburgian word for city-state). The Families were the Mairels, Ailmirs, Steigers, Jevines, Ledods, Aegirs, Orins, and Annecis. They each had their own small state and would trade and fight occasionally. In the early 900s the Jevines declared war on the Orins and after a couple of years of warfare annexed them, the Orins were banished and they fled to Ailmir territory. In the late 900s Anneci territory was becoming increasingly unstable, peasants were unhappy with the Anneci family in their territory and attempted a coup. The family was able to flee and seeming disappeared for a few years until they were found reporting the discovery of Deln upon which they founded the city of Belem, which later became the capital of Fallooplesburg and is still the largest city in Fallooplesburg. The Steigers later invaded the Anneci's land a few months after they left and the citizens failed to make a new leader.
In the early 1000s, The idea of Fallooplesburg being divided into Zæntoms was becoming increasingly unpopular with everyone from the poorest peasants to even most leaders of the Zæntoms saying that Fallooplesburg should be united. And so mass conquering commenced and war raged on in Fallooplesburg for a couple of decades until it was decided to create the house system. Each of the families were delegated a piece of land, except for the Orins and Annecis. The only problem was they didn't know how to decide who gets to lead, after months of arguing they finally agreed upon constitutional monarchy, and so it's been since 1091.

Economy
The Fallooplesburgian economy has historically been very agriculture heavy, only very recently diversifing into mining and manufacturing sectors. And with the discovery of uranium came the breakthroughs in nuclear science that led to the first Fallooplesburgian Nuclear Power Plants that Fallooplesburg is famous for. Although mining is still growing Agriculture is still a big part. Wheat, Corn and Cotton being popular crops and livestock products like Milk, Cheese, Meats, and Wool are all harvested and sold.
Coffee and Computer parts are some of the biggest imports of Fallooplesburg.
Politics
House System
Fallooplesburg has a unique type of government. There are six houses of nobility: House Aegir, House Steiger, House Ledod, House Ailmir, House Mairel, and House Jevine. and House Mairel every time the king/queen reaches the age of 40, the next king is chosen by the people, the people within a houses territory will choose which child of the noble family will be put into the running for king/queen. All of the selected candidates will be voted on by the people and that family will get control over the capital territory until the king/queen dies.

Military
Læmhops
The Læmhops is the ground army of Fallooplesburg, they currently have 500,000 in active service with 100,000 in reserves. The army has taken a hit in the civil war in late 2020 100,000 soldiers are stationed in each territory, to avoid more civil war all soldiers have been put under federal control.
The Læmhops were officially established in 1543 once a united Fallooplesburg realized it needed an official army to put down revolts and conquest, which it went on a conquest of Belem which was held independent by the Anneci family for a long while who then retreated to Fæyi an invasion completed a year prior.
The Læmhops had alot of innovation towards the early 20th century, with Simon Riedwyl who patented the Ried-MF-86 and the Ried-SA-92 the first magazine fed and semi-automatic Fallooplsburgian rifles in 1886 and 1892 respectively, and after his death in 1917 some blueprints for rudimentary tanks were found in his office. Which led to the first working tank model being manufactured and patented in 1921, and in 1933 the first tank model with a 360 degree rotating turret was patented.
Æphops
The Æphops is fairly sized with around 300 Fighter planes, 500 Air Support Planes, 200 Medium Bombers and 5 Large Bomber planes originally designed to carry Fallooplesburgian Nuclear Missiles but never saw signifigant use or manufacturing as they took too much materials to efficiently fly for long periods of time.
The Æphops is also a bit outdated not having a big breakthrough in technology since the 1950s when the current most recent designs for the Air Support and Fighter planes that saw official government licensing and manufacturing.

Besqori Foundation
The Besqori Foundation is the government WMD program that has also contributed some findings with the Clean Energy Program in the form of nuclear reactors, which have since become the backbone of Fallooplesburgian energy. The Besqori Foundation works very closly with all branches of the military supplying the Læmhops with [REDACTED], the Æphops with some [REDACTED] and the Besqori Foundation also supplied the Æphops with blueprints for the few large bombers to carry WMDS. And the Mævlhops has been supplied with not just blueprints for [REDACTED] but also some [REDACTED] to be used on them.
