“Pico guides us to the light.”

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

The Kingdom of Le Free Republic is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by King Pico with an iron fist, and remarkable for its aversion to nipples, avowedly heterosexual populace, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 2.891 billion Pico's sons are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Stoneginger. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 43.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Le Free Republician economy, worth 313 trillion picobucks a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Trout Farming, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 108,425 picobucks, with the richest citizens earning 6.5 times as much as the poorest.

A cat may look at a king and a dude can look at an ass, the government has begun breaking all large businesses into thousands of mom-and-pop general stores, hundreds of subterranean tunnels are being built as part of "Project Morlock", and the freedom to be free is always just out of reach. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Le Free Republic's national animal is the Platypus, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Pico Fundamentalism.

Le Free Republic is ranked 229,909^th in the world and 11,160^th in The North Pacific for Highest Crime Rates, with 2.26 crimes per hour.
