The Republic of Freddie Ljungberg is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, suspicion of poets, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed population of 757 million Freddie Ljungbergians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The relatively small, socially-minded government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Law & Order, Public Transport, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while International Aid receives no funds. The average income tax rate is 21.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Freddie Ljungbergian economy, worth 20.7 trillion Monies 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, fairly diversified black market in Tourism, Trout Farming, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Arms Manufacturing. 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 27,294 Monies, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The "Underwear of Women in Power" issue of The Freddie Ljungberg City Times is sold out, warning signs caution Freddie Ljungbergians where they may fall off 'the edge of the world', murder rates are on the rise as the popularity of soylent products grows, and the latest guided missile cruiser "Ship-1642" has received precisely zero column inches in the press. Crime is well under control, thanks to a capable police force. Freddie Ljungberg's national animal is the Card, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Freddie Ljungberg is ranked 216,648^th in the world and 9,441^st in Lazarus for Largest Populations, with 757 million capita.
