The Republic of Flejan is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Stella Wells with an even hand, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, pith helmet sales, and devotion to social welfare. The democratic population of 1.836 billion Flejanians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Wimborne. The average income tax rate is 58.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Flejanian economy, worth 148 trillion Euros a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 80,685 Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Ten thousand Flejanian soldiers recently invaded a nation occupied by two senior citizens and a dachshund, older citizens lament over the loss of law and order, the government is pouring funds into the nation's welfare system, and school history books often refer to Stella Wells as "that imperialist pig dog". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable 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 94,082^nd in the world and 793^rd in Europe for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 50.5 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
