Falopycus Island has strong economic and friendly ties with Detective Island and Australia. The Emperor encourages the protection of the endangered African leopard and likes to help other animals in need. Thats why the turtle is so highly thought of.
Flag:
The flag has the national emblem on it (the turtle) crossing sand. The emperor himself thought of the design.
Other Facts:
Animals that live throughout Falopycus Island are: Brine Shrimp, yabbies, Trout and various types of birds E.g. Ducks, Plovers and some times cormorants. The island has many reptiles such as geckos, blue tongues; red bellied black snake and the shingle back.
The only pests to the island are some rabbits.
Because Falopycus Island has one of the smallest populations in the world, the Emperor doesnt impose a tax. The only source of income for the island is fines passing fees and whatever money is brought in from other counties (almost 100% from Australia). Even trespassers and illegal immigrants only get a warning and get sent out, but for repeat offenders there is a small fine.
There are little jobs needed in the island so many jobs are found else where making profit for the island is minimal. The emperor has a very low income so investments for the island are small.
The Emperor Allows people that live or visit Falopycus to use things such as CDs, Playstation games, A Mongoose Freestyle bike and many books Which he has bought or received as gifts
