Flat Island

The Republic of Flat Island is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, enslaved workforce, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 6.821 billion Flat Islandians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 42.2%.

The all-consuming Flat Islandian economy, worth 905 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 132,782 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.1 times as much as the poorest.

Wrongful arrests abound as 'criminals' blame the guy next to them, the urinary fragrance of seedier establishments is thankfully hidden by the smell of stale smoke, father-son fishing trips have been banned, and nuclear submarines have been deployed to protect the nation's banana supply. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Flat Island's national animal is the Sand Crab, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Flat Island is ranked 127,246th in the world and 290th in The grimy backyard of Bigej for Most Stationary, with 266.219794897 days.
