The United Kingdom of New Flangad is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Patrick Martin with a fair hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 3.058 billion New Flangadians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Amsterdam. The average income tax rate is 22.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong New Flangadian economy, worth 206 trillion lire a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 67,421 lire, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

The weather in Amsterdam is always 'pigeons with a chance of droppings', the same 3058 social media bloggers always loudly and immediately agree with Patrick Martin's every word on Twitcher, the commercialisation of highly deadly weapons has instilled New Flangad with a very polite populace, and anyone who sneezes at border crossings is turned away. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Flangad's national animal is the crocodile, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Empty Gods.

New Flangad is ranked 181,171^st in the world and 269^th in Oneid for Most Extreme, scoring 11.04 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
