The Democratic States of Freedenea is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by President Alexander Ross with an iron fist, and renowned for its closed borders, anti-smoking policies, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 29.383 billion Freedeneans 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 tiny, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order is also considered important, while Administration and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hian. Income tax is unheard of.

The enormous but inefficient Freedenean economy, worth a remarkable 7,083 trillion jias 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 a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. 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 241,082 jias, with the richest citizens earning 7.3 times as much as the poorest.

Requests to "pass the salt" are supported by tank divisions, frequent fliers are obliged to submit to invasive security procedures by government security, citizens know not to ask what their country can do for them but what they can do as chained slaves for their country, and war criminals are given full state funerals. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Freedenea's national animal is the black bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Freedenea is ranked 25,483^rd in the world and 11^th in Osakaland for Highest Poor Incomes, with 81,693.66 Standard Monetary Units.
