The Protectorate of Fly Spray is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Francos Spain with an iron fist, and remarkable for its deadly medical pandemics, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 15.891 billion Pacificans 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 enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Francograd. The average income tax rate is 89.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Fly Sprayian economy, worth a remarkable 3,290 trillion denarii a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Retail, Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 207,089 denarii, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Professional athletes juggle part-time jobs to avoid bankruptcy, the overhead luggage compartment is often full, terrorists who are 17th cousins with the ex-wives of half-brothers of citizens are now exempt from the immigration ban, and a PhD just ain't what it used to be. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fly Spray's national animal is the Franco, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Francoism.

Fly Spray is ranked 289,587^th in the world and 3^rd in The New Pacific Order for Highest Food Quality, scoring 3.24 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
