The Confederacy of Free-Market Paradise is a very large, safe nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, pith helmet sales, and strictly enforced bedtime. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 140 million Consumers are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The tiny, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.1%.

No suburban lawn is complete without barbed wire and landmines, clowns are being rounded up and admitted to mental institutions, home renovation shows are increasingly popular, and the only science is political science.

Free-Market Paradise's national animal is the Pig, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
