The Deliverer of Flame Reaver is a colossal, orderly nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, state-planned economy, and restrictive gun laws. The cynical population of 2.622 billion Tidespawns 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 enormous, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 53.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Black Tide economy, worth 22.7 trillion coreflames 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 slick, highly efficient black market in Furniture Restoration, Book Publishing, Pizza Delivery, 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 8,676 coreflames, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Organ donation is compulsory and citizens are barcoded to keep track of their movements. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Flame Reaver's national animal is the aura, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Flame Reaver is ranked 84,712^th in the world and 5^th in Xianzhou Alliance for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 53.73 Effective Tax Rate.
