The Republic of The Free United Nations is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by President Beddington with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 19.819 billion United Nationsians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Beddington. The average income tax rate is 93.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient United Nationsian economy, worth a remarkable 2,620 trillion United Currencies a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 132,234 United Currencies, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Foreign leaders are advising that President Beddington's letters must have gotten lost in the mail, sleeping on the job is recommended, strange lights seen in the sky are officially regarded as weather balloons or hoaxes and nothing else, and wounded veterans can only get prosthetics if they agree to become walking billboards for the arms industry. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Free United Nations's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

The Free United Nations is ranked 4,818th in the world and 194th in Balder for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 19,273.86 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
