The Republic of Frederickers is a massive, economically powerful nation, ruled by Derf McStanley with a fair hand, and renowned for its devotion to social welfare. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 4.118 billion enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Social Equality. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Denali. The average income tax rate is 68%, and even higher for the wealthy. A healthy private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry.

Voting is voluntary, artists are pillars of society, religious organizations are being forced to leave the country or pay income taxes like everybody else, and an increasing percentage of the population's youth have homosexual parents. Crime is totally unknown. Frederickers's national animal is the Bighorn Sheep, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Kuru.

Frederickers is ranked 2,914th in Lazarus and 120,548th in the world for Largest Mining Sector, scoring -5 on the Blue Sky Asbestos Index.
