The Strawberries of Mr Fields is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its absence of drug laws, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The democratic population of 22.513 billion Mr Fieldsians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken morass — juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 75.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Mr Fieldsian economy, worth 365 trillion Loves a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, highly specialized black market in Retail, Beef-Based Agriculture, Trout Farming, and Pizza Delivery. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 16,242 Loves, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government's religious works are headed by a New Age guru and military funding has been stripped back. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mr Fields's national animal is the Walrus, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Mr Fields is ranked 48,661st in the world and 3rd in Trav khar for Safest, scoring 103.13 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
