The Ezelkin League of Land of Changing Flags is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Minister of Indecision Ian Spots with an iron fist, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, infamous sell-swords, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 14.852 billion Changlings 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 government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Varibleville. The average income tax rate is 66.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Flagsian economy, worth a remarkable 1,498 trillion Gummy Bears a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Retail, Gambling, and Cheese Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 100,928 Gummy Bears, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Pandemics are over and done with by the time it takes to pass the nation's stringent border security, ritual mummification is making a comeback, a baby's first breath is also a baby's first felony, and government agents are triangulating the position of the rainbow's end for the purposes of gold acquisition. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Land of Changing Flags's national animal is the Goat of Many Colors, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Blue Oyster Cult.

Land of Changing Flags is ranked 196,836th in the world and 5,085th in Lazarus for Most Stationary, with 51.4107657082 days.
