The Disputed Territories of Falling Nation is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Parachute Man with an iron fist, and remarkable for its vat-grown people, irreverence towards religion, and hatred of cheese. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 17.763 billion Falling Nationians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of MH370 City. The average income tax rate is 90.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Falling Nationian economy, worth a remarkable 3,687 trillion Dollars 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Retail, Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Furniture Restoration. 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 an amazing 207,605 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Polygraphs are relegated to the dungeon exhibit in castle museums, the Navy has outraged the international community by sinking a boatload of refugees to prevent them reaching the shore, virtually all of the country's economic activity takes place in MH370 City, and a National Academy regulates grammar and usage. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Falling Nation's national animal is the Tunneling Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Gravity.

Falling Nation is ranked 13,666th in the world and 1st in International German Coalition for Most Stationary, with 1,886.69391751512 days.
