The Republic of Flejan is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Stella Wells with a fair hand, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, parental licensing program, and frequent executions. The hard-working, democratic population of 6.634 billion Flejanians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Environment, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Wimborne. The average income tax rate is 66.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Flejanian economy, worth 527 trillion Euros a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 79,578 Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

If they thought anyone would listen the older generation would likely say that nobody listens to them any more, criminals are thrown to the Dolphins to repay their debt to society, a typical fast food menu item could serve a small army, and newspapers are running a front-page picture of Stella Wells holding a crowbar and standing over a bloodied stockbroker. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Flejan's national animal is the Dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Flejan is ranked 88,026^th in the world and 559^th in Europe for Highest Average Incomes, with 79,578.05 Standard Monetary Units.
