The Republic of Flying cars is a colossal, orderly nation, notable for its closed borders, complete lack of prisons, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 7.74 billion Flying carsians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The tiny, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is effectively ruled by the Department of Industry, with Environment and Education not funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 3.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Flying carsian economy, worth a remarkable 2,355 trillion currencies a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an amazing 304,281 currencies, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,895,385 per year while the poor average 20,890, a ratio of 90.7 to 1.

The nation's leader appoints ministers directly, citizens are expected to be proficient in at least five languages, the diplomatic corps tends to open negotiations by insulting all the foreigners in the room, and tour guides tell passengers that there is beautiful architecture just behind the two-hundred-foot concrete walls. Crime is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Flying cars's national animal is the animal, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Flying cars is ranked 315,422^nd in the world and 54^th in Vickenian experiment incubator for Most Patriotic, with 0.25 flags saluted per person per day.
