Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The many stolen flags of Flag Thief is a colossal, economically powerful nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 7.984 billion are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The medium-sized, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defence. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 12%. A large private sector is led by the Basket Weaving industry, followed by Gambling and Automobile Manufacturing.

Employers may fire workers without giving any reason, citizens select which government department gets their income tax flags each year, punitive tariffs protect local industry, and the government has cut its subsidies for all special interest groups. Crime is moderate. Flag Thief's national animal is the flag stealer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the flag.

Flag Thief is ranked 1st in Flag Thief Lair and 33,280th in the world for Most Authoritarian, with 0.749 Stalins.
