The 96 Eyes of Human Fly is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Got 96 tears and 96 eyes with an iron fist, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, frequent executions, and prohibition of alcohol. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 11.605 billion Human Flys are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Web in the corner of the Laboratory. The average income tax rate is 24.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse a Human Fly economy, worth 957 trillion francs a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 82,445 francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Motorists must pay to enter inner-cities during peak hours, in this vegetarian nation the delicious smell of roasted meat is oddly commonplace, the cancellation of "The Real Vixens of Web In The Corner Of The Laboratory" has been described as a real blow for entertainment, and space research funding has hit a recent high while several military bases are being closed down. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Human Fly's national animal is the Half Man - Half Fly, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Human Fly is ranked 159,997th in the world and 3rd in Freak Show for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring -1 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
