The Glorious Kingdom of Flanderlion is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Dale Flanderlion with an iron fist, and remarkable for its public floggings, enslaved workforce, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 15.842 billion Flanderlionians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Law & Order, Administration, and Industry also on the agenda, while Social Policy and Welfare aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Flanderlion Fortress. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Flanderlionian economy, worth an astonishing 12,143 trillion denarii a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is a breathtaking 766,511 denarii, with the richest citizens earning 7.2 times as much as the poorest.

The world still seems flat to some people in space, captains must wait until all rats are safe before jumping ship, a new religious movement claims that people's souls are stored in phosphorus, and the giant 80-storey carving of Dale Flanderlion in Mount Rushless can be seen from space. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Flanderlion's national animal is the Flanderlion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Dale Flanderlionianism.

Flanderlion is ranked 1,231^st in the world and 28^th in the Pacific for Largest Retail Industry, scoring 31,685.47 on the Shrinkwrap Consignment Productivity Index.
