The United Federation of Flamestar is a huge, genial nation, renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, absence of drug laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 659 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, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bramble Spire City. The average income tax rate is 45.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Flamestarian economy, worth 84.3 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 127,970 graphons, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Politicians have to be granted day-release from prison to speak on bills, the thin blue line is composed of picketing police officers demanding better pensions, repurposed warships fire swag at company promotional events, and preschools put children down for naps with milk, cookies, and a gruesome story of vengeance. 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 39,049^th in the world and 615^th in the South Pacific for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 2,305.45 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
