The Flying Visit of Squadron Commander Lord Flashheart is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Lord Flashheart with a fair hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, ubiquitous missile silos, and daily referendums. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 10.294 billion Squadron Commanders hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Base Command. The average income tax rate is 23.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Flashheart economy, worth 942 trillion Favours a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Tourism. Average income is 91,531 Favours, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

Political talk shows often have children as guests whenever they need commentary on world religions, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, the military has adopted a weird double-fisted salute, and referenda can be called for any law at the request of at least one third of the voting population. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Squadron Commander Lord Flashheart's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Machismo.

Squadron Commander Lord Flashheart is ranked 104,228^th in the world and 19^th in Zombie Research Institute for Lowest Crime Rates, with 65.37 law-abiding acts per hour.
