The There And Back Again of Flexion is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Jethro Schofield with an even hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, sprawling nuclear power plants, and anti-smoking policies. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 21.979 billion Flexionians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aegium. The average income tax rate is 85.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Flexionian economy, worth a remarkable 1,721 trillion credits a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 78,342 credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The importance of winning Olympic gold medals is indoctrinated from an early age, cities are engulfed by smog, the government has adopted a "Lightning Never Strikes Twice" approach to dealing with natural disasters, and voting is compulsory. Crime is totally unknown. Flexion's national animal is the arion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Flexion is ranked 55,758^th in the world and 31^st in Equilism for Lowest Crime Rates, with 72.7 law-abiding acts per hour.
