The Disputed Territories of Falling Nation is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Parachute Man with an iron fist, and renowned for its frequent executions, strictly enforced bedtime, and national health service. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 17.866 billion Falling Nationians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of MH370 City. The average income tax rate is 90.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Falling Nationian economy, worth a remarkable 3,722 trillion Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Retail, Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 208,346 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Sleep-deprived officials are known to collapse after late night revision for their examinations, the dessert 'Death by Chocolate' isn't the most lethal dish on the menu, teenagers haven't been seen outdoors since the nation reconnected to the Internet, and foreign nationals are widely distrusted. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Falling Nation's national animal is the Tunneling Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Gravity.

Falling Nation is ranked 162,246th in the world and 1st in International German Coalition for Lowest Crime Rates, with 59.95 law-abiding acts per hour.
