The Republic of Futurist State of Flassau is a huge, safe nation, ruled by Nicolas Naessens with an even hand, and notable for its public floggings, pith helmet sales, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 910 million Flaussans 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 Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Antwerp. The average income tax rate is 76.5%.
The frighteningly efficient Flaussan economy, worth 109 trillion Zewalts a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 119,901 Zewalts, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.
Conscripts often volunteer for a second tour of duty so they can get a ticket to next year's Army Revue, increasing inclusiveness is a sign of the times, wigged-out hunters report playing croquet with the Queen of Hearts, and search-and-rescue organisations are the biggest employer in the country. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Futurist State of Flassau's national animal is the Iron Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Futurist State of Flassau is ranked 128,127th in the world and 2,379th in The North Pacific for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 2,307.67 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
