The Disputed Territories of The Present Day Superpowers is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Freesia with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, democratic population of 11.654 billion Present Day Superpowersians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.
The enormous, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of the Free City. The average income tax rate is 95.4%.
The frighteningly efficient Present Day Superpowersian economy, worth a remarkable 1,462 trillion temporary notes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 125,513 temporary notes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Present Day Superpowers's national animal is the free bird, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Freemium.
The Present Day Superpowers is ranked 13,012th in the world and 2nd in Seven To Many for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 6,871.92 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
