The Democratic Republic of Friedens Reich is a huge, genial nation, remarkable for its daily referendums, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 554 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 Welfare, Education, 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 30.3 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 54,630 High Fünfs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The importance of winning Olympic gold medals is indoctrinated from an early age, older citizens lament over the loss of law and order, motorcycle riders are required to wear so much gear they've been nicknamed "Stay Pufts", and libraries are replacing history books and classic novels with technical manuals and trades directories to match the nation's changing demands. 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 73,576^th in the world and 45^th in Refugia for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 2,958.68 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
