The Empire of TheBurningFlame is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Ethaniel Daniel Jénozeus with an iron fist, and notable for its avant-garde cinema, zero percent divorce rate, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 1.131 billion Flameans 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 government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of TheFire. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 51.1%.

The frighteningly efficient TheBurningFlamean economy, worth 119 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 105,591 Dollars, with the richest citizens earning 6.9 times as much as the poorest.

The nation's police officers are famously miserable-looking, naturists are jailed regularly for indecent exposure, the government has pledged that not one drop of its citizens' blood will be spilt, and in the Beginning was the Word and the Word was "Pragmatism". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. TheBurningFlame's national animal is the Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Ethaniel.

TheBurningFlame is ranked 206,348^th in the world and 129^th in The Order of the Grey Wardens for Fattest Citizens, with 9.19 Obesity Rate.
