The Omaskar puppet of United free lands is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by John Adlington with an even hand, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, free-roaming dinosaurs, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, devout population of 4.422 billion Landians 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 large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Freelandia. The average income tax rate is 68.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Landian economy, worth 545 trillion Bets a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 123,332 Bets, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Parents often use toddler leashes on rebellious teenagers, 4-year-olds are often found reminiscing about the 'good old days', doctors spend more time writing sick notes than caring for the sick, and no cul-de-sac or trailer park is complete without a gambling parlor. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. United free lands's national animal is the Persian cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Islam.

United free lands is ranked 22,268th in the world and 882nd in The North Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 263.55 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
