Flag of Fredoria-
The Empire of Fredoria- is a very large, safe nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, absence of drug laws, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 121 million Fredoria-ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The large, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Spirituality, and Public Transport. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 48.8%.
The Fredoria-ian economy, worth 6.18 trillion Lexes 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, broadly diversified black market in Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, Arms Manufacturing, 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 51,052 Lexes, with the richest citizens earning 6.6 times as much as the poorest.
The government is giving peace a chance, the Unicorn is a protected species, swamplands and bogs have been put under quarantine, and Fredoria-'s army is full of two-metre tall super-soldiers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fredoria-'s national animal is the Unicorn.
