The Light in the Darkness of Holy Flame is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Aura with an even hand, and notable for its ritual sacrifices, public floggings, and frequent executions. The devout population of 6.455 billion Holy Flameans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Perdition. The average income tax rate is 34.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Holy Flamean economy, worth 324 trillion golds a year, is led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Arms Manufacturing, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 50,207 golds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

The education system is being cleansed of all corporate influence, rundown towns are frequently sold to billionaires for their pet projects, tourists often cite 'hiding money in an off-shore banking account' as their main reason to visit the nation, and the country's population is reported with a margin of error of several billions. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Holy Flame's national animal is the dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is The Light That Purges the Darkness.

Holy Flame is ranked 205,808^th in the world and 953^rd in the Plains of Perdition for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 33,087.04 Standard Monetary Units.
