The People's Republic of Fleitone is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Astrelis Dumont with an even hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, daily referendums, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.23 billion Fleitoneans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Silvanus. The average income tax rate is 75.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Fleitonean economy, worth 51.4 trillion verums 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 led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Soda Sales. Average income is 41,774 verums, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government loves seeing the little people fight, the military maintains a fierce arsenal of 'Cure Missiles', invasive drug testing is now performed at elementary school sports days, and scavengers with burlap sacks and shovels skulk around graveyards. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fleitone's national animal is the moth, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Fleitone is ranked 177,531^st in the world and 9,303^rd in Lazarus for Most Valuable International Artwork, with zero Bank.
