The Survey
The Survey is both the principle consequence and principle cause of the Flags. Not much is known about the nature of the survey but it has been shown that the survey is almost certain to be completed at some point in the future. The target of the survey is disputed. Some claim that the target of the survey is the flags themselves, while others point to evidence that the true target is in fact either null-time or the time crystal. Regardless of the target, progressing the survey has undeniably positive effects.

Origin
The origin of The Survey is unknown, but multiple parties have claimed responsibility. Current claims and theories include:
- A positive psyop created during Last Year, possibly by either Dr. Crow or Dr. Beef Supreme late in the Ultramarathon, and propagated via retrocausality.
- A creation by President Jaguar in order to ensure the implementation of null-time
- A creation from the year after Last Year as a prank, possibly to ensure that Last Year happens or prevent Last Year from happening.
Possibility of Survey Failure
It is impossible for the survey to fail, since any survey that fails is not the True Survey.
Survey Completion Statistics
Studies show that the survey has covered approximately 5% of logarithmic space and 10% of exponential time. The current record holders for survey completion are as follows
| 75% | 90% | -1 |
| 25% | 10% | 2095 |
| 2% | 5% | 1324 |
| 1% | 1% | 1514 |
| 1% | 0.5% | 2032 |
