Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Pass the Holy Grand Duchy of Fredanica is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by The Right Honourable Freda Danica with an even hand, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, public floggings, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 29.443 billion Freddies are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Freda Freda. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Fredanican economy, worth a remarkable 6,358 trillion Danics a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 215,943 Danics, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Bigtopian interference in domestic elections is always democratically sanctioned, The Right Honourable Freda Danica's reputation is hard as nails, hospitals have unveiled new guidelines suggesting that latex gloves do not count as clothing, and primetime re-runs of The Black and White Minstrel Show are a critical hit. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fredanica's national animal is the Freddyloon, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Danicism.

Fredanica is ranked 505^th in the world and 9^th in the Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 30,607.47 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
