The Republic of Flecht is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, anti-smoking policies, and avant-garde cinema. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 8.186 billion Flechtians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government is effectively ruled by the Department of Industry, with Environment and Social Policy not funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 51.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Flechtian economy, worth a remarkable 2,534 trillion currencies a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 309,565 currencies, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,152,798 per year while the poor average 15,503, a ratio of 138 to 1.

Weather forecasts are accurate but nobody has the bandwidth to view them, street gangs rule most of the nation's major cities, gene-engineered sewerjacks don't smell but they do stink, and people are bored of easy crossword puzzles. Crime is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Flecht's national animal is the animal, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Flecht is ranked 93,090th in the world and 10th in Vickenian experiment containment zone for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 51.66 Effective Tax Rate.
