The Republic of Freya Star System is a huge, cultured nation, notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, avant-garde cinema, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed population of 254 million Freya Star Systemians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.
The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 49.2%.
The sizeable but inefficient Freya Star Systemian economy, worth 14.2 trillion dinars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Information Technology, Trout Farming, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 55,715 dinars, with the richest citizens earning 6.1 times as much as the poorest.
Citizens are forced to donate blood once every three months, Freya Star System has designated Freya Star System City as its capital city, people who tease dwarfs are being cut down to size, and 4-year-olds are often found reminiscing about the 'good old days'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Freya Star System's national animal is the star deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Freya Star System is ranked 79,085th in the world and 10th in Abandoned Branch for Largest Governments, scoring 18.52 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
