The Republic of Flying cars is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its closed borders, unlimited-speed roads, and strictly enforced bedtime. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 5.207 billion Flying carsians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The tiny, corrupt, pro-business government is effectively ruled by the Department of Industry, with Environment and Administration not funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Flying carsian economy, worth a remarkable 1,353 trillion currencies a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an amazing 259,948 currencies, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,811,519 per year while the poor average 12,932, a ratio of 140 to 1.

Leader's webseries about the alleged hauntings of Flying cars City generates millions of views, flu research is commonly shut down for fear of creating a superbug, Leader has declared a weed sticking through a crack in the sidewalk to be the nation's newest green space, and finding half a worm in your apple is an arrestable offense. Crime is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Flying cars's national animal is the animal, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Flying cars is ranked 286,187th in the world and 7,745th in the Rejected Realms for Most Income Equality, scoring 0.71 on the Marx-Engels Emancipation Scale.
