The Free Kingdom of Falcania is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Queen Falcon IV with a fair hand, and notable for its deadly medical pandemics, pith helmet sales, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 47.254 billion Falcanians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, corrupt, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of High Roost. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Falcon's economy, worth an astonishing 13,353 trillion Talons a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Soda Sales. Average income is an amazing 282,585 Talons, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 907,437 per year while the poor average 66,701, a ratio of 13.6 to 1.

Dictionaries have tripled in size listing alternative spellings, apples shaped like baguettes have become a strange new food fad, pranking is an art form, and APCs on school runs disgorge kids via assault ramps. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Falcania's national animal is the Falcon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Falcania is ranked 26,946th in the world and 1st in Arrosia for Most Politically Free, scoring 91 on the Diebold Election Inking Scale.
