The Rogue Nation of The Flagler Empire is a huge, efficient nation, remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, barren, inhospitable landscape, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 726 million Flagleridians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The minute, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.9%.

The very strong Flagleridian economy, worth 51.0 trillion US dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and dominated by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 70,262 US dollars, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 427,432 per year while the poor average 5,123, a ratio of 83.4 to 1.

This year's hottest fashion trend is the Lese Majeste collection, public toilets are famed for their rear entries, citizens have never heard foreign radio, and the nation's diplomatic missives are now delivered via sniper rifle. Crime is a major problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. The Flagler Empire's national animal is the porpoise, which can occasionally be seen avoiding garbage in the nation's murky oceans.

The Flagler Empire is ranked 332,165th in the world and 1st in Flagler Beach for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 168.08 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
