The Federative Republic of Flaksis is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by United Flaksis Party with an even hand, and renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, parental licensing program, and punitive income tax rates. The democratic population of 11.37 billion Flaksians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Henjar. The average income tax rate is 91.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Flaksisian economy, worth a remarkable 2,729 trillion Kursaks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 240,060 Kursaks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The gravy train is chugging along on a new track, the nation's navy has been named the scourge of the seven thousand seas, generals have trouble barking orders over the sound of thundering artillery, and supermarket milk is a shear-thickening fluid that can stop small-caliber bullets. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Flaksis's national animal is the Kodok, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Dyahmasis.

Flaksis is ranked 172,246^th in the world and 437^th in The Communist Bloc for Most Advanced Law Enforcement, scoring 1,339.2 on the Orwell Orderliness Index.
