The Confederacy of Freedomias is a huge, cultured nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, infamous sell-swords, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 323 million Freedomiasians enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The minute, pro-business government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Industry, with Education and Defense also on the agenda, while Welfare and Social Policy are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 3.8%.

The powerhouse Freedomiasian economy, worth 27.2 trillion Dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Soda Sales industry, with major contributions from Retail, Uranium Mining, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 84,364 Dollars, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 352,750 per year while the poor average 13,151, a ratio of 26.8 to 1.

It's considered a civil right to be allowed to neglect and mistreat your own children, chalkboards are replaced with billboards in the classroom, economists have been named Invertebrates of the Year, and petitions to the government are being used to insulate politicians' office walls. Crime, especially youth-related, is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Freedomias's national animal is the Hawk, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Freedomias is ranked 42,825^th in the world and 69^th in Astoria for Highest Food Quality, scoring 37.83 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
