The Supporting Nation of Brotherhood of Flames is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by Joseph Lebeau with an iron fist, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, infamous sell-swords, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 10.336 billion Flamesians 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 relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fire Valley. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 27.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Flamesian economy, worth a remarkable 2,493 trillion Flamios 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 a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Retail, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. 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 an amazing 241,215 Flamios, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,032,237 per year while the poor average 36,135, a ratio of 28.6 to 1.

The country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, exceptionally talented workers are praised more than Revolutionary heroes, sex changes are routinely performed at Brotherhood of Flames's hospitals, and it is cheaper to die in the wilderness than to survive. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Brotherhood of Flames's national animal is the Flaming Phoenix, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Pyrodulia.

Brotherhood of Flames is ranked 140,733^rd in the world and 55^th in Union of Allied States for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 969.84 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
