The United States of Dignic Freuraternia is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Great Leader with an iron fist, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, zero percent divorce rate, and hatred of cheese. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 14.72 billion Dignic Freuraternians 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, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lutherville. The average income tax rate is 93.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Dignic Freuraternian economy, worth a remarkable 3,947 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 268,194 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Planespotters are emigrating in droves, disability advocates are not amused that they are told to be dependent on Dignic Freuraternians's kindness, frequent flyers are chiseled into statues, and being Great Leader has been voted one of the top ten most dangerous jobs. Crime is moderate, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Dignic Freuraternia's national animal is the squirrel, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Dignic Freuraternia is ranked 5,000^th in the world and 72^nd in the South Pacific for Highest Average Incomes, with 268,194.85 Standard Monetary Units.
