The Grand Tavernate of Freebeerinakeg is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by The Sidewalk Killer with a fair hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, free-roaming dinosaurs, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 32.945 billion Keggers live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Terraniux. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Keggerian economy, worth a remarkable 9,776 trillion Kegs a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Soda Sales, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an amazing 296,752 Kegs, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 965,288 per year while the poor average 68,733, a ratio of 14.0 to 1.

The best way to be heard in politics is to speak softly and carry a big comedy prop, no one is quite sure what many government officials look like, machine-peeled candied grapes come in individual packaging for the busy commuter, and toy versions of heroin paraphernalia let kids pretend to be their favourite TV characters. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Freebeerinakeg's national animal is the Liquid Horse, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Cubicism.

Freebeerinakeg is ranked 293,516th in the world and 6th in The Thonlands for Lowest Crime Rates, with 3.19 law-abiding acts per hour.
