The Floating Fiefs of The Flying Flotilla is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, compulsory military service, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 11.487 billion Flying Flotillans are proud of their wide-ranging civil freedoms, and those who aren't tend to be dragged off the streets by men in dark suits and hustled into cars with tinted windows.

The medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 29.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Flying Flotillan economy, worth 544 trillion silver talons a year, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 47,376 silver talons, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

A major religion has been named as The Flying Flotilla's national religion, a primitive society is being eroded as its youth flock to the modern world, former customs officers are adjusting to their new lives as market stall traders, and the justice of The Flying Flotilla is considered superior to that of other nations. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Flying Flotilla's national animal is the giant hawk, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

The Flying Flotilla is ranked 131,337^th in the world and 8^th in Arda en Estel for Lowest Crime Rates, with 62.61 law-abiding acts per hour.
