The Kingdom of The FreeState Dominion is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Yun with an iron fist, and notable for its pith helmet sales, triple-decker prams, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 1.017 billion FreeState Dominionians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Celestia. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 55.1%.

The frighteningly efficient FreeState Dominionian economy, worth 156 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is an impressive 154,140 dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 510,495 per year while the poor average 34,764, a ratio of 14.7 to 1.

Unwary hikers climbing the bluffs of Mount Celestia make great practice for foreign snipers, scenic mountain valleys are flooded with water as damming projects get underway, women who can do math in their head are burned for witchcraft, and tourists flock to see the giant stone carvings of historical leaders at Mount Rushless. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The FreeState Dominion's national animal is the Cat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

The FreeState Dominion is ranked 225,190th in the world and 4,127th in The East Pacific for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring -5.48 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
