The Republic of Flak3 is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, frequent executions, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed population of 3.288 billion Flak3ians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Defense, although Healthcare and Law & Order are also considered important. The average income tax rate is 32.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Flak3ian economy, worth 117 trillion embers a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Automobile Manufacturing, and Cheese Exports. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 35,838 embers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Code enforcement officers circle wealthy Flak3ians like vultures, forecasts predict rains of loose lead and mortar shells for the next six weeks, a recent "genocide prevention" campaign includes murdering children based on their DNA, and one tree's worth of paperwork accompanies each imported log of timber. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Flak3's national animal is the phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Flak3 is ranked 111,984^th in the world and 2^nd in Peoples Republic of China for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 751.5 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
