The Republic of Flame Trooper 1 is a massive, genial nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, suspicion of poets, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 1.433 billion Flame Trooper 1ians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government prioritizes Defense, with Administration, Welfare, and Law & Order also on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 44.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Flame Trooper 1ian economy, worth 55.6 trillion Credits a year, is led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Information Technology. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 38,812 Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Drivers regularly pull over for nonexistent police cars, students can name the chiefs of proto-Bigtopian tribes before they can count to ten, dancing with your first cousin is a misdemeanor, and kindhearted Flame Trooper 1ians generously pay taxes for citizens of other countries. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Flame Trooper 1's national animal is the Droid, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Flame Trooper 1 is ranked 128,204^th in the world and 1,681^st in eta for Largest Black Market, with 1.56 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
