The Glorious Kingdom of Flanderlion is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Dale Flanderlion with an iron fist, and renowned for its disturbing lack of elderly people, free-roaming dinosaurs, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 24.211 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, although Law & Order, Administration, and Industry are also considered important, 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 23,281 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 961,614 denarii, with the richest citizens earning 8.9 times as much as the poorest.

The "war on terror" doesn't seem to be making Flanderlionians any less frightened, the people are famous throughout the region for their perfect yellow teeth, exceptionally healthy police officers can sprint after crooks for hours on end, and jailbreaking is the best-selling book category of the year. 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 32^nd in the world and 1^st in the Pacific for Largest Black Market, with 39,100 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
