The Empire of Flaggnia is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by Emperor Flagg with an iron fist, and notable for its unlimited-speed roads, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.66 billion Flaggnians 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rainnia City. The average income tax rate is 88.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Flaggnian economy, worth 811 trillion Flerns a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 143,392 Flerns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Punk rockers smash it up and then clean it up, you can't put down the nation's attitude to pet health, flatulent people are left to die of cancer at the end of hospital waiting lists, and bouncers at the door of the sweet shop warn five-year-olds not to cause trouble. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Flaggnia's national animal is the Rainbow Bird, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Flaggshian.

Flaggnia is ranked 18,628^th in the world and 1,079^th in Osiris for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 3,502.53 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
