The Kingdom of The FreeState Dominion is a huge, safe nation, ruled by Yun with an iron fist, and remarkable for its avowedly heterosexual populace, ubiquitous missile silos, and triple-decker prams. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 992 million 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 57.9%.

The frighteningly efficient FreeState Dominionian economy, worth 150 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 151,990 dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 486,516 per year while the poor average 36,044, a ratio of 13.5 to 1.

Holiday light displays just aren't the same without seizure-inducing strobe effects, wedding bands come in pairs to form wedding manacles, all marriages are arranged by the government, and the new foreign policy is "why bother invading neighbours when they can be bought wholesale?". 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 87,223rd in the world and 1,923rd in The East Pacific for Safest, scoring 87.81 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
