The Free Land of Isle of Flan is a huge, orderly nation, notable for its vat-grown people, digital currency, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 865 million Flanx are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Oven. The average income tax rate is 51.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Flanx economy, worth 83.3 trillion jokens a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Pizza Delivery, and Soda Sales. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 96,312 jokens, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Couch potatoes are considered to be model citizens, protestors are soaking piles of jokens in blood to make a point about government incomes, hidden bedroom-cams are installed to catch mothers doing their kids' homework, and the Flanx Intelligence Agency relies on internet search engines to know what is happening overseas. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Isle of Flan's national animal is the philling.

Isle of Flan is ranked 91,980^th in the world and 1^st in The Blood Ocean for Most Patriotic, with 19.72 flags saluted per person per day.
