“Per tabes, ad astra!”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Federal Republic of Flaking is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Lucas Thomas with an even hand, and notable for its unlimited-speed roads, public floggings, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate population of 3.292 billion Flakings 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aurora bearealis. The average income tax rate is 95.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Flakingian economy, worth 606 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 184,332 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Drugs containing the compound "oleum de serpens" are being sold to cancer patients, the freedom to be free is always just out of reach, private pharmacies close down as medicinal drugs are given away freely by the government, and eminent domain has been abolished. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Flaking's national animal is the bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Flaking is ranked 3,748^th in the world and 82^nd in the South Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 124.18 law-abiding acts per hour.
