The Free Land of Fretensis IV is a huge, cultured nation, remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 404 million Fretensiscans 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, corrupt, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is effectively ruled by the Department of Industry, with Education also on the agenda, while Law & Order and Spirituality are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dropzone. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 3.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Fretensis IVian economy, worth 48.1 trillion teeth a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Gambling, and Soda Sales. Average income is an impressive 119,145 teeth, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 743,545 per year while the poor average 8,140, a ratio of 91.3 to 1.

Social networking sites have discussion groups devoted to planning terrorist attacks, commercial breaks often lead to nervous breakdowns, gun ownership is compulsory, and a stocking with a crooked seam or a tie without a full Windsor knot are grounds for instant dismissal. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Fretensis IV's national animal is the grange monstrosity, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Fretensis IV is ranked 294,792^nd in the world and 5,170^th in the South Pacific for Most Authoritarian, with 11.7 milliStalins.
