The Glorious Kingdom of Flanderlion is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Dale Flanderlion with an iron fist, and notable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, avowedly heterosexual populace, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 24.175 billion Flanderlionians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Administration, and Industry are also considered important, while Social Policy and Welfare are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Flanderlion Fortress. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Flanderlionian economy, worth an astonishing 23,219 trillion denarii 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, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. 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 960,481 denarii, with the richest citizens earning 8.7 times as much as the poorest.

The optimally efficient parking strategy for business commuters is referred to as the "traveling salesman problem", the giant 80-storey carving of Dale Flanderlion in Mount Rushless can be seen from space, Flanderlionians are unrivalled in obstacle courses, and the nationalised Arms Manufacturing Industry is not interested in making weapons. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Flanderlion's national animal is the Flanderlion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Dale Flanderlionianism.

Flanderlion is ranked 29,850^th in the world and 288^th in the Pacific for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 5,115.46 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
