The Protectorate of Flamekeeper 1 is a huge, genial nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The quiet, industrious population of 902 million Flamekeepers enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.
The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 70.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but stagnant Flamekeeper economy, worth 6.21 trillion Euros a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 6,883 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Flamekeeper 1's national animal is the abandoned regions, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Flamekeeper 1 is ranked 100,468th in the world and 1st in Commonwealth of Zion for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 228.74 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
