The Democratic Republic of Flamesdom is a tiny, socially progressive nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 5 million are either ruled by a small, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.
There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded individuals juggles the competing demands of Commerce, Law & Order, and Religion & Spirituality. Income tax is unheard of. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Soda Sales, Woodchip Exports, and Trout Farming industries.
Crime is a major problem. Flamesdom's national animal is the harvey the hound, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the dollar.
