The Republic of Fremdenhof is a massive, efficient nation, renowned for its prohibition of alcohol, restrictive gun laws, and labour-free parental leave. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 1.563 billion Fremdenhofians are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The large, moralistic, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 77.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Fremdenhofian economy, worth 175 trillion Pulses a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 112,337 Pulses, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 836,898 per year while the poor average 4,433, a ratio of 188 to 1.

Piracy is the nation's most popular pastime, those who sing the national anthem off-key have the key thrown away, private pharmacies close down as medicinal drugs are given away freely by the government, and Fremdenhofians believe the only thing that will make you happy is being unhappy with who you are. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fremdenhof's national animal is the Rod, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Fremdenhof is ranked 320,156^th in the world and 1,189^th in Concord for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 13.42 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
