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

The People's Republic of Freri is a colossal, orderly nation, notable for its compulsory military service, infamous sell-swords, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 9.099 billion Frerians 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 Law & Order, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 27.7%.

The Frerian economy, worth 520 trillion Frerin marks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is notable. Average income is 57,250 Frerin marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

No one believes anything until it has been strenuously tested and peer-reviewed, shouting contests are an important part of government job interviews, ten-year-olds are applying for lemonade stand operator licences, and rumor has it that Leader has won three lotteries in a row. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Freri's national animal is the cobra, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Freri is ranked 110,958^th in the world and 2,130^th in The East Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 64.58 law-abiding acts per hour.
