The United Federation of Flamestar is a huge, socially progressive nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, flagrant waste-dumping, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 608 million Flamestarians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bramble Spire City. The average income tax rate is 44.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Flamestarian economy, worth 76.1 trillion graphons a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 125,222 graphons, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Mechanics are often exhausted by their work, the government recently donated a surfboard to an impoverished family in a landlocked region, class action lawsuits have gone up in smoke thanks to government interference, and Maxtopian tourists make expensive pilgrimages to Bramble Spire City to enjoy their national art. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Flamestar's national animal is the phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Flamestar is ranked 233,826^th in the world and 3,290^th in the South Pacific for Fattest Citizens, with 8.18 Obesity Rate.
