The Republic of Frederik is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its daily referendums, pith helmet sales, and keen interest in outer space. The democratic population of 531 million Freds hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Prussia. The average income tax rate is 52.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Fredikan economy, worth 27.4 trillion freds a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Retail, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 51,586 freds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Surveillance cameras are banned, Frederik has designated Prussia as its capital city, sports club owners are having a moneyball, and the government's foreign policy statements are less threatening than a World Assembly cease-and-desist letter. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Frederik's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Frederik is ranked 49,950^th in the world and 2^nd in The Intergalactic Domain for Safest, scoring 103.25 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
