The Republic of Flatville is a huge, cultured nation, renowned for its zero percent divorce rate, fear of technology, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 697 million Flatvilleans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Square B. The average income tax rate is 65.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Flatvillean economy, worth 19.1 trillion FVBS a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Pizza Delivery, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 27,418 FVBS, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

People are now buried six inches under, priests are being drafted by the church load, restaurants are required to specify whether their toilet paper was made in Flatville, and psychological disorders are a taboo subject. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Flatville's national animal is the Hexagon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Flatville is ranked 65,178^th in the world and 31^st in Fallen Nations for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 2,705.69 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
