The Republic of The Free And Safe is a huge, pleasant nation, notable for its compulsory military service, frequent executions, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 341 million Free And Safeans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 13.0%.

The strong Free And Safean economy, worth 20.2 trillion TFS Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Tourism. Average income is 59,250 TFS Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Nuclear bases are readying themselves for missile deployment, returning tourists and businessmen are detained without trial if they belong to the "wrong" religion, conspiracy theorists allege that the government is spying on them through their carbon monoxide detectors, and door-to-door salesmen are frequently beaten up by 'vigilantes'. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. The Free And Safe's national animal is the Manatee.

The Free And Safe is ranked 234,076^th in the world and 43^rd in Burge Classroom for Most Primitive, scoring -95.76 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
