The Fiefdom of Free Corporations is a very large, efficient nation, renowned for its frequent executions, enslaved workforce, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 158 million Corpos 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 tiny, corrupt, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Corporat economy, worth 15.9 trillion XAU₮s a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is an impressive 100,883 XAU₮s, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 621,461 per year while the poor average 7,127, a ratio of 87.2 to 1.

The government has heavily invested in badly drawn monkeys, government bureaucrats devote many man-hours to trying to measure unquantifiables, stores employing more than 100 employees are required to be at least twenty miles from any competitor, and rural children are told reading's important (for other people). Crime, especially youth-related, is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Free Corporations's national animal is the Snake, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Free Corporations is ranked 267,334^th in the world and 181^st in Hell for Lowest Crime Rates, with 42.63 law-abiding acts per hour.
