The Commonwealth of Flourish is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by Hipol Floreni with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, absence of drug laws, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cheerful population of 7.19 billion Flouresians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Isla Villituba. The average income tax rate is 82.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Flouresian economy, worth 971 trillion Lutons 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 major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 135,186 Lutons, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Arbitrary election rules are considered sacrosanct, dissing one's former country is a prerequisite to apply for Flouresian citizenship, the police turn a blind eye to desecration if it's done in the name of religion or protest, and the thrash metal version of the national anthem is topping charts. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Flourish's national animal is the Finch, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Finchism.

Flourish is ranked 15,664^th in the world and 7^th in The Amaranthine Isles for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 348.52 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
