The Dreams of Flap is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Frank with an iron fist, and remarkable for its punitive income tax rates. The cynical population of 28.577 billion Flapians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Spirituality, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Flappa. The average income tax rate is 50.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Flapian economy, worth 587 trillion Dimes a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 20,565 Dimes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Nihilism has been named as Flap's national religion, Frank has just been declared ruler of Flap in an international press conference, and Flap has designated Flappa as its capital city. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Flap's national animal is the trout and its national religion is Nihilism.

Flap is ranked 248,689^th in the world and 4^th in Vertu for Highest Poor Incomes, with 15,449.76 Standard Monetary Units.
