The Democratic Empire of Fredericksborg is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by President Robert A Montfort with an iron fist, and remarkable for its vat-grown people, compulsory military service, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 18.318 billion Fredericksborgians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lemstin. The average income tax rate is 66.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Fredericksborgian economy, worth a remarkable 3,966 trillion Crowns a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 216,562 Crowns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Government ministers have eclectic tastes in curtains, there's a lot of mouth-breathers about these days, the nation's space program is doxxing the planet, and cops in Lemstin spend much of their time napping on a park bench next to Embassy Row. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fredericksborg's national animal is the Nervous Bean, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Atheism.

Fredericksborg is ranked 249,101^st in the world and 3,811^th in The North Pacific for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring -7.87 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
