The Colonial Power of The Flanders is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Leopold II with an even hand, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, public floggings, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 3.32 billion Flemish are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, corrupt 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 67.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Flemish economy, worth 463 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 139,534 Lion Coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Leopold II's told that love often manifests itself through homicidal four-lettered litanies, the government is spending millions on alternative clean-burning fuels, teen boys and girls find stick-figure-aided lectures on their comradestruation emphasises socialist unity more than biology, and elementary school students are required to master Bach's Chaconne in D before graduation. 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 31,503^rd in the world and 230^th in Europeia for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 2,597.23 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
