The Dominion of Flaevn is a tiny, cultured nation, renowned for its national health service, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The cynical population of 16 million Flaevs are ruled with an iron fist by the socialist government, which grants its people the freedom to do whatever they like so long as it doesn't involve getting richer than anybody else or challenging the government.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 24.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The fair Flaevnian economy, worth 573 billion dollarydoos a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Woodchip Exports, and Soda Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 35,795 dollarydoos, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Politicians and casino owners who so much as wander into the same room are arrested on the spot, prisoners regularly escape detention posing as scarecrows, the possibility of gain causes universal pain, and sprinters achieve their personal bests only when the Olympic Team recruiters come calling. Crime is well under control. Flaevn's national animal is the kangaroo.

Flaevn is ranked 213,386^th in the world and 56^th in Sparkalia for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 541.22 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
