The Happy Eagles of Flying Eagles is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Defender with an even hand, and notable for its state-planned economy, free-roaming dinosaurs, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 11.96 billion Eagles are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Defender City. The average income tax rate is 95.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Eagleian economy, worth a remarkable 1,277 trillion Paper Defenders a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Cheese Exports, and Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 106,784 Paper Defenders, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation is in perpetual campaign mode, excited shovel-bearing geeks wander the countryside, children's TV shows are having a gay old time, and the military has grudgingly released all top secret information in an effort for greater transparency. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Flying Eagles's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Defenderism.

Flying Eagles is ranked 20,733rd in the world and 258th in 10000 Islands for Most Cultured, scoring 90 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
