The Glorious Kingdom of Flanderlion is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Dale Flanderlion with an iron fist, and renowned for its public floggings, frequent executions, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 18.687 billion Flanderlionians 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 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 are ignored. 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 15,847 trillion denarii 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. 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 a breathtaking 848,070 denarii, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.
Debate rages over whether ground fish guts can be spread on fields, citizens live in superstitious fear of the mysterious glowing clouds that float over Flanderlion, fortified nursing homes are wracked with daily skirmishes, and no-one can foil the ambitions of Big Aluminium. 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 3,460th in the world and 102nd in the Pacific for Healthiest Citizens, with 23.02 bananas ingested per day.
