The True Divine Empire of Flandarz is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by The Almighty Lord Flandarz Dragmire with an iron fist, and notable for its ban on automobiles, zero percent divorce rate, and compulsory vegetarianism. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 13.945 billion Flandarians 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, with Education, Administration, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while International Aid receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dragmire's Fortress. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Flandish economy, worth a remarkable 9,113 trillion Flanmires 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 black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Beef-Based Agriculture. 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 653,518 Flanmires, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Six-year-old children playing dress-up are viewed with suspicion, military pistols are more secure than the national treasury, diplomatic fallout tends to be much more dangerous than radioactive fallout, and citizens are deployed to barren deserts to protect small territorial claims. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Flandarz's national animal is the human, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Dragmirism.

Flandarz is ranked 308,882^nd in the world and 51^st in Gypsy Lands for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring -28.75 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
