The Republic of The-Free-Cities is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its burgeoning eagle population. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 18.558 billion The-Free-Citiesians 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 Defense, Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 18.4%.

The The-Free-Citiesian economy, worth 796 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 42,940 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. The-Free-Cities's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

The-Free-Cities is ranked 232,895^th in the world and 2^nd in Free Cities for Lowest Crime Rates, with 55.64 law-abiding acts per hour.
