The Republic of Free Thengle is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its suspicion of poets. The quiet, industrious population of 5.34 billion Free Thengleans 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 juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 30.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Free Thenglean economy, worth 179 trillion kronor a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 33,625 kronor, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

It is illegal to make racist remarks in public, TV shows must meet strict ethnicity quotas, Harry Potter books are banned, and Leader's family members carry literal get-out-of-jail-free cards. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Free Thengle's national animal is the tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Free Thengle is ranked 187,853^rd in the world and 1^st in Raidersville for Lowest Crime Rates, with 57.77 law-abiding acts per hour.
