The Federation of Flopterie is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Emanuel von Flotter with an even hand, and renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, daily referendums, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 3.352 billion Flopterieans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Flopigrad. The average income tax rate is 51.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Flopteriean economy, worth 355 trillion Flop coins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 105,912 Flop coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Being dead no longer has any benefits, the nation leads Kaira in per capita stalking, jabbing a baby's bottle at officials gets parents waved straight through immigration, and political parties are banned from advertising and receiving private donations. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Flopterie's national animal is the Flopa, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Flopterie is ranked 2,358^th in the world and 1^st in Kaira for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 8,902.82 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
