The Long Forgotten Republic of Friday Freshman is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Colin Friday with an even hand, and renowned for its public floggings, compulsory military service, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 25.028 billion Freshmen have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Education, with Defense, Healthcare, and Environment also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Starfall. The average income tax rate is 80.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Freshman economy, worth a remarkable 4,788 trillion Silver Dollars a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 191,312 Silver Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Students do more community service than homework, economists confusingly list "fusarium rot and leaf blight" as major risk factors for monetary deflation, vegetables are crisper thanks to CRISPR, and the only things written in the stars are arrest warrants for astrologers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Friday Freshman's national animal is the Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Friday Freshman is ranked 16,264^th in the world and 1^st in The Old Realm for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 8,975.38 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
