The Kingdom of Fleuve is a huge, cultured nation, ruled by Ren with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, public floggings, and pith helmet sales. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 914 million Fleuveans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Equistine. The average income tax rate is 49.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Fleuvean economy, worth 74.8 trillion Horseshoes a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Retail. Average income is 81,881 Horseshoes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Primetime re-runs of The Black and White Minstrel Show are a critical hit, Ren's perky ego is the talk of the town, the traditional Violetist dish of stuffed sheep's head is served with an intense look of shock upon its face, and even the nation's brussel sprouts are delicious and nutritious. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fleuve's national animal is the Fleuve Horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Fleuve is ranked 211,703^rd in the world and 254^th in The Communist Bloc for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector, scoring 1,122.74 on the Charon Conveyancy Index.
