The Free Land of Big Federal Republics is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Daniel Bernoulli with an iron fist, and remarkable for its public floggings, triple-decker prams, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 8.675 billion Big Federal Republicsians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Probabicity. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 25.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Big Federal Republicsian economy, worth 887 trillion dices 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 large, well-organized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, Gambling, and Uranium Mining. 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 an impressive 102,344 dices, with the richest citizens earning 8.7 times as much as the poorest.

The legal system for the political class is completely separate from the one for normal citizens, insurance companies charge extortionate premiums to cover homes near waterways, airplane passenger seat sizes and ticket prices are both first-class, and public nudity is compulsory. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Big Federal Republics's national animal is the Ant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Probability.

Big Federal Republics is ranked 216,971st in the world and 8,521st in Lazarus for Safest, scoring 28.72 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
