Abstract
We study moduli spaces of flat metrics on closed Riemannian orbifolds admitting such metrics. We show that for such orbifolds , the Teichm\"uller space of flat metrics serves as a classifying space for proper actions of the mapping class group, , in the appropriate category. We show that the moduli space of flat metrics, , is itself a very good orbifold, and, under a technical assumption, describe this orbifold algebraically up to commensurability.
