The Interstellar Republic of FlyLands is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Flynn with an even hand, and notable for its ban on automobiles, state-planned economy, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, cheerful population of 3.026 billion FlyLandsians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Antwerp. The average income tax rate is 92.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient FlyLandsian economy, worth 412 trillion Côte d'Ors a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 136,249 Côte d'Ors, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

There is a growing belief that consciousness is a simulated illusion within a computer-generated reality, a determined opposition debates the relative benefits of Arial and Times New Roman for days on end, park rangers perform full-body searches on suspected fungus smugglers, and the people are famous throughout the region for their perfect yellow teeth. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. FlyLands's national animal is the Owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

FlyLands is ranked 8,642^nd in the world and 253^rd in The Communist Bloc for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 11,956.82 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
