The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 23.3%.

The strong Flatwoodsian economy, worth 271 trillion Delta Eagles a year, is led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 50,175 Delta Eagles, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 195,728 per year while the poor average 8,778, a ratio of 22.3 to 1.

Birth rates have hit an all-time low, crime is on the rise as online youths compete to vlog the most shocking scenes of violence, immigrant Maxtopians are routinely sold on popular internet auction sites, and all telephone traffic is monitored for 'national security reasons'.
