The Commonwealth of The fland is a colossal, pleasant nation, remarkable for its enslaved workforce, prohibition of alcohol, and hatred of cheese. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 6.507 billion flandians 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 tiny government prioritizes Spirituality, with Law & Order, Education, and Environment also on the agenda, while Welfare and Defense aren't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 9.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient flandian economy, worth 184 trillion yen a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Retail, Trout Farming, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 28,399 yen, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Politicians and casino owners who so much as wander into the same room are arrested on the spot, thieves are flogged in public for their crimes, oddly simian-looking religious thugs beat up anyone who suggests humans are related to monkeys, and libraries are now installed with jacuzzis and mini-bars. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. The fland's national animal is the hippo, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

The fland is ranked 76,592nd in the world and 1,492nd in Jihad Army of the Emperor for Most Stationary, with 626.8409877104 days.
