The True Divine Empire of Flandarz is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by The Almighty Lord Flandarz Dragmire with an iron fist, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, fear of technology, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 16.374 billion Flandarians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Education, Law & Order, and Administration are also considered important, while International Aid is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dragmire's Fortress. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Flandish economy, worth an astonishing 11,627 trillion Flanmires a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is a breathtaking 710,124 Flanmires, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government is continually probing the galaxy in search of alien life, pulling weeds is seen as a threat to national security, the practice of capital punishment proves divisive, and anti-vaxxers claim that injected children are prone to psychotic breaks when they see the 'Queen of Diamonds' playing card. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Flandarz's national animal is the human, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Dragmirism.

Flandarz is ranked 290,456^th in the world and 62^nd in Gypsy Lands for Highest Food Quality, scoring 2.52 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
