The Democratic Republic of Flaeze is a huge, cultured nation, remarkable for its stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 258 million Flaezeans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Environment, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 48.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Flaezean economy, worth 13.2 trillion Flaezes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Cheese Exports, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 51,090 Flaezes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Poaching has been on the rise after animals from the nation's zoos were released into the wild, the tightness of border controls in Flaeze leave a little to be desired, shelters struggle to keep up with the endless intake of stray animals, and teachers are skilled at leaving no evidence of child cruelty. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Flaeze's national animal is the Maya Bird, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Flaeze is ranked 265,411^th in the world and 6,012^th in The North Pacific for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring -7.68 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
