The Republic of Freeoplis is a colossal, cultured nation, notable for its devotion to social welfare. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 5.264 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 Social Equality, Social Welfare, and Education. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Freeten. The average income tax rate is 24%, but much higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry.

Citizens are frequently searched for illegal weapons, crowds of flag-burning protesters tend to accidentally become crowds of burning protesters, fur coats have become the latest fashion trend, and citizens are allowed to rise or fall based on their own merits. Crime is well under control. Freeoplis's national animal is the Owl, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the Freela.

Freeoplis is ranked 349th in Absolution and 99,190th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -8 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
