The Free Land of FT is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, unlimited-speed roads, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 3.761 billion FTians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 42.2%.

The powerhouse FTian economy, worth 349 trillion golds a year, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 92,801 golds, with the richest citizens earning 5.8 times as much as the poorest.

Card players are calling the government's bluff on anti-gambling legislation, fewer people are bathing as citizens must show ration stamps before they can turn on their faucets, former bars are desperately trying to re-brand themselves as cafés, and wars of expansion are described as "peacekeeping operations". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. FT's national animal is the Elephant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

FT is ranked 78,307th in the world and 4,394th in Osiris for Highest Poor Incomes, with 35,807.44 Standard Monetary Units.
