The Armed Republic of The Airship Pilots Union is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Flatbush with an even hand, and notable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 1.071 billion Airship Pilots Unionians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Perstrozia. The average income tax rate is 65.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Airship Pilots Unionian economy, worth 66.3 trillion Gold Coins 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 led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Arms Manufacturing, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 61,874 Gold Coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Children of nonreligious parents are often barred from school festival events, consumption of cat memes has skyrocketed, citizens may cast their vote over the internet or phone, and Flatbush has just been declared ruler of The Airship Pilots Union in an international press conference. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Airship Pilots Union's national animal is the Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

The Airship Pilots Union is ranked 151,970^th in the world and 6,388^th in The North Pacific for Most Extreme, scoring 14 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
