The Dictatorship of Flying Monkeys is a very large, orderly nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 276 million Flying Monkeysians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 70.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Flying Monkeysian economy, worth 4.71 trillion gold bars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 17,054 gold bars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Organ donation is compulsory, genetic researchers have been expelled, citizens are barcoded to keep track of their movements, and homes have been banned from having any more than one wheel. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Flying Monkeys's national animal is the vulturica hawk, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Flying Monkeys is ranked 62,467^th in the world and 1^st in Flying Monkeys for Safest, scoring 99 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
