The Taisuist Republic of Flardania is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Arata Kasuga with a fair hand, and renowned for its unlimited-speed roads, daily referendums, and smutty television. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 16.817 billion Kirishinans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Heiwa. The average income tax rate is 81.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Kirishinan economy, worth a remarkable 2,508 trillion Weidais a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 149,179 Weidais, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Social media sites prompt users to send birthday greetings to unresponsive nonagenarians, the acceptance of acupuncture and other alternative therapies has needled the scientific community, prime commercial land is being swamped with archaeological teams, and the nation's atlases tend to go out of date every few weeks. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Flardania's national animal is the Kitsune, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Onjōism.

Flardania is ranked 224,775^th in the world and 88^th in Cynosure for Largest Agricultural Sector, scoring -19.13 on the Mu-Bah-Daggs Productivity Index.
