The Armed Republic of Fle Dreca is a small, efficient nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and flagrant waste-dumping. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 26 million Fle Drecans enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The minute, pro-business government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.2%.

The very strong Fle Drecan economy, worth 1.29 trillion Drecas a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Gambling, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 49,780 Drecas, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 214,069 per year while the poor average 7,394, a ratio of 28.9 to 1.

X-Files ratings have hit an all-time low, the nation's latest batch of politicians include internet comedians, an alleged serial killer, and a highly trained eagle, strict term limits have been applied to all elected offices, and door-to-door salesmen are frequently beaten up by 'vigilantes'. Crime is a serious problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Fle Dreca's national animal is the eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Fle Dreca is ranked 53,591^st in the world and 7^th in RGBN for Most Extensive Civil Rights, with 75.92 Martin Luther King, Jr. Units.
