The Protectorate of The Oranje Free State is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 24.016 billion Vrijstaters are known throughout the region for their efficiency and work ethic, as well as their general suspicion of leisure.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Welfare, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 11.7%.

The very strong Vrijstaats economy, worth 696 trillion rand a year, is quite specialized and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 29,018 rand, with the richest citizens earning 6.5 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is a problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. The Oranje Free State's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Oranje Free State is ranked 39,907^th in the world and 2^nd in the Union of South African Republics for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 4,236.21 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
