The Imperial States of Flex Lexington is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Emperor Cornelius Maximilian IV with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, public floggings, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 23.046 billion Flexicans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lexington. The average income tax rate is 93.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Flex Lexingtonian economy, worth a remarkable 3,947 trillion Flexes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 171,309 Flexes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

There's nothing more rock-and-roll than absolute sobriety, the nation was recently voted "most likely to betray its allies", Emperor Cornelius Maximilian IV has been seen stealthily slicing fifths off bread loaves, and police officers often conceal their identities to safeguard against public complaints. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Flex Lexington's national animal is the Imperial Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Flex Lexington is ranked 261,312^th in the world and 649^th in 10000 Islands for Most Corrupt Governments, with 0.72 kickbacks per hour.
