The True Divine Empire of Flandarz is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by The Almighty Lord Flandarz Dragmire with an iron fist, and renowned for its public floggings, fear of technology, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 16.346 billion Flandarians 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, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Education, Law & Order, and Administration also on the agenda, while International Aid is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dragmire's Fortress. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Flandish economy, worth an astonishing 11,590 trillion Flanmires 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 black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. 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 709,095 Flanmires, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The institution of marriage is held sacred and strictly enforced, misbehaving humans deemed dangerous to the public are shot and hanged by the town hall as a warning to others, the government burgles the houses of holidaying citizens, and it is illegal to carry an umbrella when the official weather forecast predicts a sunny day. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Flandarz's national animal is the human, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Dragmirism.

Flandarz is ranked 180,695^th in the world and 42^nd in Gypsy Lands for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 23.72 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
