The Democratic Republic of Friedens Reich is a huge, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its daily referendums, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 578 million Big Freedians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kathmandont and Bürn. The average income tax rate is 61.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Friedens Reichian economy, worth 30.8 trillion High Fünfs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Cheese Exports, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 53,359 High Fünfs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Destitute athletes are forced to train in the street, skateboarding is considered a form of diplomacy, history textbook pages are used as impromptu tissues by distraught students, and unstable couples are known to break up over which one gets parental leave. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Friedens Reich's national animal is the Wuully Mammuth Sempervirens, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Friedens Reich is ranked 138,976^th in the world and 105^th in Refugia for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 643.57 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
