The Republic of Flame Trooper 19 is a massive, genial nation, renowned for its ban on automobiles and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, cynical population of 1.36 billion Flame Trooper 19ians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 27.9%.

The Flame Trooper 19ian economy, worth 57.4 trillion Credits a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Book Publishing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 42,226 Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.

Inter-species marriages are ignored by the government, citizens must pay to enjoy Flame Trooper 19's pristine beaches, lending firms are subject to strict government regulations, and government election advice reads like a restaurant menu. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Flame Trooper 19's national animal is the Droid, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Flame Trooper 19 is ranked 270,509^th in the world and 4,011^th in eta for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring -11.63 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
