The Militarized State of Flammaland is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Supreme Commander Ares with an iron fist, and remarkable for its prohibition of alcohol, ban on automobiles, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 22.765 billion Flammalandians 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 relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is dominated by the Department of Defense, with Industry, Law & Order, and Education also on the agenda, while Environment and Welfare aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Manus Urbs. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 81.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Flammalandian economy, worth an astonishing 16,127 trillion Bronze Coins 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 Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, 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 708,452 Bronze Coins, with the richest citizens earning 7.3 times as much as the poorest.

Summer science camps are regularly raided by narcotics police, the people consider response to rudeness to be an acceptable casus belli, Supreme Commander Ares often plays real life games of Tower Defense against hordes of angry villagers, and dangerous criminals are often 'accidentally' sent on one-way trips to Maxtopia. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Flammaland's national animal is the Wolf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is The Way of War.

Flammaland is ranked 293,799^th in the world and 1,338^th in The Communist Bloc for Most Armed, with 0.08 weapons per person.
