The Colony of Freck is a massive, orderly nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, enforced nudity, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 1.54 billion Freckians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The relatively small, pro-business, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Law & Order, although Defense, Education, and Public Transport are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 10.0%.

The strong Freckian economy, worth 92.4 trillion rubles a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Trout Farming, and Information Technology. Average income is 59,986 rubles, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 317,289 per year while the poor average 6,016, a ratio of 52.7 to 1.

Public nudity is compulsory, young children are regularly seen wagering pocket money at blackjack tables, the government has started a campaign to crack down on road rage and encourage alternate means of commuting, and seafood restaurants assure customers 'If it lives in the sea, it's on our menu'. Crime is moderate. Freck's national animal is the kiwi, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Freck is ranked 11,161^st in the world and 5^th in Card Slavery for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 5,689.73 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
