The Federation of Flanelvia is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Suul' with an iron fist, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical population of 1.129 billion Flanelvians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Jäälakso. The average income tax rate is 71.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Flanelvian economy, worth 108 trillion Solencs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 96,218 Solencs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The voyages of obsolete star-trekking satellites on deliberate escape orbits are only just beginning, you can't put down the nation's attitude to pet health, barbed wire entanglements and guard towers surround the Jäälakso Natural History Museum, and jabbing a baby's bottle at officials gets parents waved straight through immigration. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Flanelvia's national animal is the White panther, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Atheism.

Flanelvia is ranked 129,679^th in the world and 72^nd in The Region That Has No Big Banks for Most Conservative, scoring 63.25 on the Bush-Santorum Dawning Terror Index.
