The Free Land of Flaketon is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Praefectus Vilus with an even hand, and notable for its avant-garde cinema, smutty television, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 893 million Flaketonians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Oculus. The average income tax rate is 71.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Flaketonian economy, worth 61.4 trillion Flaketon Marks a year, is quite specialized and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 68,736 Flaketon Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Volunteers are signing up to take arms against an incursion of flesh-eating zombies (Flaketon has found 1 easter egg), Praefectus Vilus has just been declared ruler of Flaketon in an international press conference, guide dogs for the blind have been seen using government websites, and the nation's police officers are famously miserable-looking. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Flaketon's national animal is the red dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Flaketon is ranked 80,383rd in the world and 3,829th in Lazarus for Most Developed, scoring 67.04 on the Human Development Index.
