The Glorious Kingdom of Flanderlion is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Dale Flanderlion with an iron fist, and remarkable for its closed borders, compulsory military service, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 22.457 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, with Law & Order, Administration, and Industry also on the agenda, while Social Policy and Welfare aren't funded at all. 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 20,867 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 929,218 denarii, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.
The police double as repo men, the latest guided missile cruiser "Ship-1642" has received precisely zero column inches in the press, a new generation of aquariumless hotels are being built under government supervision, and the question of 'what is Dale Flanderlion's favorite color?' has been given a priority rating of burnt-orange. 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 306,825th in the world and 4,652nd in the Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring -640 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
