The Pink Holy Lucky Christmas of Free Fools is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Santa Claus with an iron fist, and notable for its compulsory military service, vat-grown people, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.497 billion Free Fools are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Defense, Environment, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yggdrassil. The average income tax rate is 77.3%.

The strong a Free Fool economy, worth 85.0 trillion Candy Cane Gold Bars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Tourism, and Cheese Exports. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 56,790 Candy Cane Gold Bars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Protests are legal but strictly supervised, families must live in a village for a century before they get any say in how it runs, ethnic minorities are often refused admission to some of the nation's best schools, and private law firms are unheard of. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Free Fools's national animal is the Bat, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Athyism.

Free Fools is ranked 155,628th in the world and 1st in Mole People of Dirt Mud City for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 1,882.44 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
