The Republic of Futurist State of Flassau is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Nicolas Naessens with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, ban on automobiles, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.202 billion Flaussans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Antwerp. The average income tax rate is 81.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Flaussan economy, worth 157 trillion Zewalts a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 131,356 Zewalts, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Gay men commonly complain about their time of the month, invasive drug testing is now performed at elementary school sports days, cases of disease among the civilian population dwindle as civilian population dwindles, and boys who even ask about cheerleading are placed on the Sex Offenders Register. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Futurist State of Flassau's national animal is the Iron Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Atheism.

Futurist State of Flassau is ranked 20,056^th in the world and 599^th in The North Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 8,097.06 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
