The Federal Republic of Floriania is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Florian with a fair hand, and notable for its teetotalling pirates, museums and concert halls, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 4.577 billion Florians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded, outspoken morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Florinth. The average income tax rate is 90.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Florianian economy, worth 317 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 highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Basket Weaving. Average income is 69,341 florins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's diplomats shake hands with those whose hands are drenched in the blood of innocents, jokes told in elementary school often come back to haunt politicians, the nation is stuck in permanent election mode as politicians demand constant do-overs, and the nation's atlases tend to go out of date every few weeks. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Floriania's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Floriania is ranked 311,494^th in the world and 16,646^th in Lazarus for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -8.81 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
