The Eustacian Republic of Floresque is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Gonfaloniere Alessandro de' Avelocci with an even hand, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, absence of drug laws, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 11.164 billion Floregasque are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Floresque. The average income tax rate is 57.1%.

The strong Floregasque economy, worth 524 trillion florins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 46,976 florins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens must pay to enjoy Floresque's pristine beaches, the fire protection service is wholly government-funded, Floresque's airwaves are dominated by corporate-backed commercial radio, and students cut up leftover florins during Arts and Crafts. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Floresque's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Eustacianism.

Floresque is ranked 184,518^th in the world and 4,430^th in The North Pacific for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 534.57 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
