The Happy Eagles of Flying Eagles is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Defender with an even hand, and notable for its restrictive gun laws, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 10.217 billion Eagles are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Cheese Exports. Average income is an impressive 103,661 Paper Defenders, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Abattoirs are running at full capacity in response to skyrocketing demand, flatulent people are left to die of cancer at the end of hospital waiting lists, Defender tells rebellious ministers to "drop and give me twenty", and abortions are routinely performed in the nation's hospitals. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Flying Eagles's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Defenderism.

Flying Eagles is ranked 9,203rd in the world and 161st in 10000 Islands for Most Valuable International Artwork, with 56.69 Bank.
