The Federal Republic of Freedom and Memes is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Joe Mama with an even hand, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, ubiquitous missile silos, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working, cheerful population of 8.184 billion Memeists have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of FrontPage. The average income tax rate is 66.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Freedom and Memesian economy, worth a remarkable 1,274 trillion Karmas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 155,745 Karmas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Pre-takeoff checks last longer than the flights themselves, the number of students attending university has reached a record high, the slowest students feel vaguely targeted by their Mendelian Inheritance coursework, and money that should have gone to charities is instead spent on monitoring them. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Freedom and Memes's national animal is the Doge, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Freedom and Memes is ranked 58,824^th in the world and 2,951^st in Osiris for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 51,707.48 Standard Monetary Units.
