The United Socialist States of Personal Freedom is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by The Dead Rock Star Council with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 27.405 billion Free Persons hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of San Tropez. The average income tax rate is 48.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Freed economy, worth a remarkable 2,337 trillion Freedmen a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 85,290 Freedmen, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Supervisors in Personal Freedom commonly tie bells on their necks to alert employees of their presence, the new iVote app allows representatives to vote on legislation by launching ill-tempered birds and matching candies, government reports are now used to teach toddlers to read, and a blood-red mark on the doorframe means a building must be passed over for destruction. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Personal Freedom's national animal is the Albatross, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Personal Freedom is ranked 235,215^th in the world and 42^nd in Hippy Haven for Nicest Citizens, with 10.55 average smiles per day.
