The Holy Empire of Fleurisi is a very large, socially progressive nation, notable for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 152 million Fleurisians 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 morass — juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 78.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Fleurisian economy, worth 2.32 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 Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 15,281 florins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Humble workers tempt fate for a taste of airline caviar, a suspicious number of male students have joined the Ladies' Wrestling League, it ain't easy to be green enough to be imported into Fleurisi, and the government seeks peaceful forum with terrorists. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fleurisi's national animal is the dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Fleurisi is ranked 73,532^nd in the world and 108^th in Astoria for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 410.73 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
