The Most Serene Republic of USS Flint is a mammoth, genial nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working population of 5.05 billion USS Flintians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 22.2%.

The USS Flintian economy, worth 221 trillion Delta Eagles a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 43,770 Delta Eagles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Animal liberationists receive government funding to break into animal research labs, women across the country are tying the knot, agriculture is heavily subsidized by the government, and five-year-olds chanting "Little Miss Muffet" are accused of bullying arachnophobes. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. USS Flint's national animal is the Kitsune, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

USS Flint is ranked 166,451^st in the world and 9^th in American Navy for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 1,134.86 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
