The Free Land of The Coneheads is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Beldar Conehead with an iron fist, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, public floggings, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-working, cynical population of 3.471 billion Coneheadsians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The tiny, pro-business, well-organized government prioritizes Education, although Healthcare, Defense, and Law & Order are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Remulak. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.1%.

The strong Coneheadsian economy, worth 174 trillion Beer Cans a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Information Technology, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 50,282 Beer Cans, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 271,665 per year while the poor average 4,821, a ratio of 56.3 to 1.

Disability advocates are not amused that they are told to be dependent on Coneheadsians's kindness, foreign leaders who don't applaud Beldar Conehead's speeches are regarded as enemies of The Coneheads, wait staff claim to like it when odorous customers flirt with them, and idyllic countryside scenes see border collies herding sixty-ton dinosaurs. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. The Coneheads's national animal is the Garthok, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Panspermia.

The Coneheads is ranked 272,716th in the world and 25th in The Moon for Safest, scoring 8.54 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
