Location: Capitalist Paradise

Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Free Land of Freedomscope is a massive, economically powerful nation, ruled by Ron Paul with a fair hand, and remarkable for its unlimited-speed roads. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 1.246 billion live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded, liberal, pro-business individuals is mainly concerned with Defence, although Law & Order and Commerce are on the agenda. Income tax is unheard of. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Information Technology industry, followed by Arms Manufacturing and Gambling.

Breastfeeding mothers are replacing smokers to loiter outside the workplace, inter-species marriages are ignored by the government, the government has cut its subsidies for all special interest groups, and politicians are to be found scavenging bins at night to supplement their income. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is crippling. Freedomscope's national animal is the Walrus, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the New Liberty Dollar.

Freedomscope is ranked 207th in Capitalist Paradise and 34,917th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 2 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
