The Glorious Kingdom of Flanderlion is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Dale Flanderlion with an iron fist, and renowned for its enslaved workforce, anti-smoking policies, and strictly enforced bedtime. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 27.942 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, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Administration, and Industry also on the agenda, while Social Policy and International Aid 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 28,971 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, fairly 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 1,036,841 denarii, with the richest citizens earning 9.3 times as much as the poorest.

People stand their fridges back-to-front to benefit from the free heating, stone wrist watches that weigh 20lb are the latest trend, cute fluffy little Dale Flanderlions are increasingly popular exotic pets, and trouble-makers are frequently turned in to the government to be 'recycled'. 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 331,920th in the world and 3,252nd in the Pacific for Highest Disposable Incomes, with zero Standard Monetary Units.
