The Alan Parsons Project of Of the Free Socialist Territories is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Rosa Luxemburg with a fair hand, and notable for its anti-smoking policies. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 2.737 billion hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, liberal government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, the Environment, and Social Welfare. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Freiheitstadt. The average income tax rate is 99%. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

Max Barry is this year's Miss Of the Free Socialist Territories, the new hit series "Of the Free Socialist Territories's Got Trauma" has corporate executives fleeing the country, 'A is for Annulment' is a popular children's song, and students cut up leftover Pfunds during Arts and Crafts. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is crippling, probably because of the country's utter lack of prisons. Of the Free Socialist Territories's national animal is the No Pasaran, which is also the nation's favorite main course, its national religion is Agnostic Atheistic Dystheism, and its currency is the Pfund.

Of the Free Socialist Territories is ranked 1,313th in The North Pacific and 26,206th in the world for Most Income Equality, scoring 155 on the Marx-Engels Emancipation Scale.
