The Confederacy of Freubar is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Kaspar Dessauer with an iron fist, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, pith helmet sales, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 12.094 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, with Industry and Law & Order also on the agenda, 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 26.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Freubarian economy, worth a remarkable 1,695 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 140,224 Dollars, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 535,038 per year while the poor average 25,424, a ratio of 21.0 to 1.

Police regularly arrest families playing Monopoly, there is a heavy social stigma attached to e-cigarettes, citizens with artificial limbs are forbidden to serve as beauty pageant judges, and giant no-kill traps baited with Bapst Red Ribbon and vintage bicycles have been popping up in back alleys nationwide. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. 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 238,212th in the world and 391st in Nordic Lands for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring -7.69 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
