The Federation of United Republic of Free States is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, infamous sell-swords, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 544 million Free Staters hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Libertyville. The average income tax rate is 59.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Free Statese economy, worth 58.1 trillion URFS shells a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 106,710 URFS shells, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Pareidolic SETI scientists swear there's a message from aliens hidden within pi, elected officials often serve for decades in a single term, every week is blindness awareness week, and Free Statese companies generally just fire employees in lieu of giving them vacation. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. United Republic of Free States's national animal is the Big nosed blue-finned turtle, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

United Republic of Free States is ranked 43,057^th in the world and 2,047^th in The North Pacific for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 5,101.18 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
