The Military Congress of United Federation Of Pancakes is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by General Black Jack with an iron fist, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, prohibition of alcohol, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 16.977 billion Pancakesians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Education, Industry, and Administration also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Maple Wood. The average income tax rate is 98.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Pancakesian economy, worth a remarkable 3,767 trillion Maple Syrups a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an amazing 221,916 Maple Syrups, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Broken suspension systems are giving auto repair shops plenty of business, organisations with 800 in their phone number are often raided by special forces, escaped birthday balloons are torpedoed out of the sky, and the nation's soldiers sleep four to a bed in order to use space economically. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. United Federation Of Pancakes's national animal is the Pancakes, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Order of Maple.

United Federation Of Pancakes is ranked 9,432^nd in the world and 22^nd in Confederation of Corrupt Dictators for Most Cultured, scoring 122 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
