The Confederacy of The Free Sphere

“Power breeds parasites, long live anarchy”

The Confederacy of The Free Sphere is a huge, efficient nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, ban on automobiles, and avant-garde cinema. The compassionate, democratic population of 591 million Free Sphereans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Oventic. The average income tax rate is 16.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Free Spherean economy, worth 51.8 trillion nones 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 Tourism, Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. 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 87,727 nones, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Primetime re-runs of The Black and White Minstrel Show are a critical hit, with great power generation comes great responsibility, religious education is a new government priority, and therapists dispense hugs for heroin dealers and cuddles for crackheads. Crime, especially youth-related, is moderate, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. The Free Sphere's national animal is the Raven, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

The Free Sphere is ranked 225,835^th in the world and 4,617^th in the South Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 56.47 law-abiding acts per hour.
