The United States of Flavin is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its daily referendums, avant-garde cinema, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 132 million Flavinians 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Administration, and Education. The average income tax rate is 21.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Flavinian economy, worth 8.11 trillion Flavinian dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 61,440 Flavinian dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Foreign policy is based upon the principle of sieve and take, door-to-door salesmen are frequently beaten up by 'vigilantes', religious turf wars have caused frustrated police to pray for divine intervention, and money that should have gone to charities is instead spent on monitoring them. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Flavin's national animal is the beaver, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Flavin is ranked 68,274^th in the world and 2,088^th in The North Pacific for Safest, scoring 95.5 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
