The Colonial Power of The Flanders is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Leopold II with an even hand, and renowned for its parental licensing program, state-planned economy, and enslaved workforce. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 3.491 billion Flemish are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ville De Bruxelles. The average income tax rate is 66.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Flemish economy, worth 483 trillion Lion Coins 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 a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, 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 an impressive 138,425 Lion Coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Blood donations have been banned because of the risk of eternal unrest, shanty towns are forming in the suburbs of major cities, foreign visitors who show an interest in Flemish politics are immediately deported, and the controversial show 'Who Wants to be an Immigrant?' has become wildly popular. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Flanders's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Roman Catholic.

The Flanders is ranked 17,547^th in the world and 164^th in Europeia for Most Developed, scoring 87.73 on the Human Development Index.
