The Rogue Nation of Flamengo is a massive, orderly nation, remarkable for its closed borders, ban on automobiles, and frequent executions. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 3.619 billion Flamenguistas are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 77.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The all-consuming Flamengoan economy, worth 395 trillion Rubroes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is an impressive 109,152 Rubroes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Even God cannot save you in Flamengo, power stations shutting down at night has made bedtime reading tricky, squeaky high prepubescent voices recite the patriotic poem "Hail to The Leader!" before each meal, and power to the people comes from the barrel of a gun. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Flamengo's national animal is the Urubu, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Flamengo is ranked 59,679th in the world and 3,238th in Balder for Most Corrupt Governments, with 30.67 kickbacks per hour.
