The Free Land of Freelanderness is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by the Benevolent Freedom Lover with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 4.836 billion enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is mainly concerned with Education, although Social Equality and Social Welfare are on the agenda. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Freelanderness City. The average income tax rate is 73%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry.

The government is avowedly atheist, surveillance cameras are banned, people reciting Shakespeare have become a common sight, and major cities shut down as their local sports team takes to the field every day. Crime is relatively low. Freelanderness's national animal is the Freedom Feline, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the Freedoms.

Freelanderness is ranked 358th in 10000 Islands and 9,554th in the world for Healthiest Citizens, with 10 Standard Bananas Ingested per capita per day.
