The Glorious Kingdom of Flanderlion is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Dale Flanderlion with an iron fist, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, anti-smoking policies, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 22.68 billion Flanderlionians 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 Law & Order, Administration, and Industry are also considered important, while Social Policy and International Aid receive no funds. 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 21,401 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 943,636 denarii, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Believers who wear their faith on their sleeves make easy targets in hostile areas, public executions just aren't the cheery spectacles they once were, police officers that upset their bosses get assigned to 24 hour stakeouts of bike sheds, and citizen radio operators agree that the certification test can open up a world of hertz. 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 231^st in the world and 4^th in the Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 35,669.65 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
