The Democratic Republic of Flaeze is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its punitive income tax rates and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 333 million Flaezeans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Flaeze City. The average income tax rate is 52.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Flaezean economy, worth 16.6 trillion Flaezes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Cheese Exports, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 49,933 Flaezes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Builders across Flaeze are blocked up with orders for new public loos, disaster relief budgets are growing like wildfire, snooze factory is now prison lingo for rehabilitation center, and colleges adhere to rigid ethnic quotas for admissions. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Flaeze's national animal is the Maya Bird, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Flaeze is ranked 124,038^th in the world and 3,291^st in The North Pacific for Most Patriotic, with 12.98 flags saluted per person per day.
