“Those who fear suffering suffer of what they fear”

The Imperial States of Flex Lexington is a colossal, devout nation, notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 5.238 billion 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.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Law & Order, and Education. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lexington. The average income tax rate is 100%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Information Technology industry, followed by Book Publishing and Arms Manufacturing.

Graffiti graces every city's streets, referenda can be called for any law at the request of at least one third of the voting population, hunters have been known to lose limbs while attempting to 'play tag' with their prey, and citizens must pay to enjoy Flex Lexington's pristine beaches. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Flex Lexington's national animal is the Eagle, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Flex.

Flex Lexington is ranked 780th in the region and 50,827th in the world for Most Godforsaken.
