The Allied States of Falavsia is a massive, cultured nation, notable for its rum-swilling pirates, daily referendums, and compulsory gun ownership. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.262 billion Falavsians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 39.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Falavsian economy, worth 100 trillion rupees a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 79,491 rupees, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Diaper-wrapped shawarma is a fan-favorite, anti-government web sites are springing up, political satirists and late night comedians weep as the government begins cleaning up its act, and more than one company makes the board game Monopoly. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent. Falavsia's national animal is the giraffe, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Falavsia is ranked 20,181^st in the world and 332^nd in the West Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 88 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
