The Clube de Regatas of Flamengo is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Nação with an iron fist, and remarkable for its zero percent divorce rate, compulsory military service, and public floggings. The cynical, devout population of 8.923 billion Flamenguistas are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rio de Janeiro. The average income tax rate is 66.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Flamengoan economy, worth 976 trillion Rubroes a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 109,368 Rubroes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Odysseying merchant sailors swear that they've heard sirens in the western seas, panels from bankrupt rooftop solar companies are used as props for sci-fi B-movies, no one born in Flamengo can fix a leaky faucet, and all screens are equal but some are more equal than others. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Flamengo's national animal is the Urubu, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Flamengo is ranked 35,489^th in the world and 1,713^th in Balder for Smartest Citizens, with 51.93 quips per hour.
