The Infernal Mandate of Flame of Dio is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Dio with an iron fist, and remarkable for its digital currency, compulsory military service, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 7.739 billion Dioists 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 relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Thought. The average income tax rate is 25.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Dioist economy, worth 896 trillion sand grains a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 115,883 sand grains, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Prosecutors routinely call transplant doctors as 'expert witnesses' in burglary cases, quiet professionalism has returned to the nation's armed forces, the government extracts trade concessions from poor nations in exchange for humanitarian aid, and security reviews double as corporate marketing. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Flame of Dio's national animal is the Peacock, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Dioism.

Flame of Dio is ranked 44,231^st in the world and 236^th in The East Pacific for Largest Black Market, with 23.0 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
