The Host Club of FreedomIand is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Ruch with an even hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, avowedly heterosexual populace, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 13.13 billion Freedomlandians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pleasantville. The average income tax rate is 90.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient FreedomIandian economy, worth a remarkable 1,481 trillion cakes a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Book Publishing, and Tourism. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 112,797 cakes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

The world still seems flat to some people in space, imitation is the sincerest form of felony, the nation's beloved 'good-natured doormat' is inundated by begging letters, and many mayors are barely in office before being kicked out for minor parking violations. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. FreedomIand's national animal is the turtle, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Christianity.

FreedomIand is ranked 7,203rd in the world and 202nd in The East Pacific for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1,918.6 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
