The Grand Duchy of Florontium is a titanic, efficient nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, public floggings, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 18.471 billion Florontiumians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 79.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Florontiumian economy, worth a remarkable 2,020 trillion Ganjas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 109,386 Ganjas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.8 times as much as the poorest.

The nation burns bridges with neighbours who burn their rainforest, Leader accepted United Federation theatrical awards for Best Writer and Best Actress on behalf of the absent recipients, requests for government aid can be forwarded to the beach, and voters must frequently select what they view as the lesser of two evils on the ballot. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Florontium's national animal is the Moose, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Florontium is ranked 52,577^th in the world and 2,467^th in Osiris for Highest Poor Incomes, with 53,514.28 Standard Monetary Units.
