The Republic of Flece is a fledgling, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, state-planned economy, and devotion to social welfare. The quiet, industrious population of 6 million Fleceans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 50.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The developing Flecean economy, worth 196 billion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Cheese Exports, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 32,729 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, the tenet of free speech is held dear, citizens are enjoying a recent large cut in taxes, and shady doctors seem to have impeccable records. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Flece's national animal is the horse, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Flece is ranked 160,377^th in the world and 13^th in Shadow Realms for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring zero on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
