The Confederacy of Freubar is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Kaspar Dessauer with an iron fist, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, fear of technology, and triple-decker prams. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 11.837 billion Freubarians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, although Industry and Law & Order are also considered important, while Environment and Welfare are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kleve. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 25.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Freubarian economy, worth a remarkable 1,656 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Uranium Mining, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 139,966 Dollars, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 543,352 per year while the poor average 24,681, a ratio of 22.0 to 1.

Ignorance is considered a politically desirable quality, from the highest mountain to the deepest cave - one can always count on finding a good cell signal in Freubar, atheists on vacation find Christianity's scriptures make useful doorstops, and baby dolls thrown in the trash are a leading cause of panic attacks. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Freubar's national animal is the Bison, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Christianity.

Freubar is ranked 79,305th in the world and 44th in Nordic Lands for Most Stationary, with 609.88886661532 days.
