The People's Republic of Fredonion is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Supreme Leader Onion with an iron fist, and notable for its pith helmet sales, ubiquitous missile silos, and avant-garde cinema. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 1.78 billion Fredonionians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fred. The average income tax rate is 68.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Fredonionian economy, worth 190 trillion Onions a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 107,091 Onions, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

You can call your arthritic immigrant neighbour for all your roof-tiling and guttering needs, sales of disinfectant wipes have skyrocketed, students are known to arrive at school in their pyjamas, and agriculture is heavily subsidized by the government. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fredonion's national animal is the Ogre, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Lutheranism.

Fredonion is ranked 92,617^th in the world and 94^th in New Western Empire for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1,689.88 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
