The Commonwealth of Fleurs Dor is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Percius Artois with an even hand, and renowned for its ban on automobiles, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 3.142 billion Fleurs Dorians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Le Grand Jardin. The average income tax rate is 81.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Fleurs Dorian economy, worth 246 trillion Pinketts a year, is highly specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 78,334 Pinketts, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens who plan overseas vacations are barred from running for political office, government-run screening operations remove embryos with severe genetic disorders, black market eau de toilette is made in bathroom labs across the nation, and arthritic surgeons with tremulous fingers reassure patients that they are in safe hands. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fleurs Dor's national animal is the lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Fleurs Dor is ranked 144,817^th in the world and 35^th in Astoria for Largest Populations, with 3.14 billion capita.
