The Not-So Serene Republic of Freya Crescent is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Ozymandias with a fair hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, compulsory military service, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 18.252 billion Burmecians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Welfare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Burmecia. The average income tax rate is 73.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Freya Crescentian economy, worth a remarkable 1,540 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 84,420 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens select which government department gets their income tax dollars each year, Jack Russells have proven to be terrible spies, billions of dollars are being poured into a space program, and vanity is considered the fifth cardinal virtue. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Freya Crescent's national animal is the chocobo, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Freya Crescent is ranked 187,031^st in the world and 32^nd in The Trunk of a Pontiac Tempest for Most Corrupt Governments, with 2.12 kickbacks per hour.
