The United Socialist States of FlyLands is a huge, cultured nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, infamous sell-swords, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 440 million FlyLandsians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Antwerp. The average income tax rate is 76.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse FlyLandsian economy, worth 42.0 trillion Euros a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Book Publishing. Average income is 95,480 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Toy versions of heroin paraphernalia let kids pretend to be their favourite TV characters, grinding bureaucracy has the international wheels of justice turning slowly, there's no cure or sympathy for the common cold, and there is a growing belief that mothers love their children more than fathers. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. FlyLands's national animal is the Owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

FlyLands is ranked 237,149^th in the world and 1,377^th in The Communist Bloc for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring -6.32 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
