The Republic of Futurist State of Flassau is a huge, cultured nation, ruled by Nicolas Naessens with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, prohibition of alcohol, and frequent executions. The compassionate, democratic population of 886 million Flaussans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Antwerp. The average income tax rate is 76.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Flaussan economy, worth 105 trillion Zewalts a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 119,487 Zewalts, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Young girls aren't having a ball but they are enjoying themselves, citizens seem fixated on 105m x 45m rectangles, posters on 'Flaussan Values' advise against being proud of Futurist State of Flassau, and economists speak of trusting in the Tao of Free Market Capitalism. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Futurist State of Flassau's national animal is the Iron Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Futurist State of Flassau is ranked 41,840^th in the world and 1,119^th in The North Pacific for Highest Average Incomes, with 119,487.41 Standard Monetary Units.
