The Republic of Der Freien is a mid-sized, safe nation, notable for its ubiquitous missile silos and irreverence towards religion. The quiet, industrious population of 50 million Der Freienians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 29.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but inefficient Der Freienian economy, worth 2.01 trillion Entes a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Tourism, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 40,182 Entes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.
The government is allowing greater autonomy for some regions in the hopes of quelling growing secessionist movements, factories grind to a halt every time there is an election, restaurants are required to specify whether their toilet paper was made in Der Freien, and criminals rejoice in the streets as the entire police force is sent away on a training retreat. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Der Freien's national animal is the Duck.
Der Freien is ranked 24,895th in the world and 8th in Imperatus for Most Secular, with 37.35 Atheism Rate.
