The Dreams of Flap is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Frank with an iron fist, and notable for its punitive income tax rates. The cynical population of 28.705 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, Welfare, and Spirituality. 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 590 trillion Dimes a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Information Technology. 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 310,278th in the world and 3rd in Vertu for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 10,221.09 Standard Monetary Units.
