The United Republics of Fre Rhissey is a massive, genial nation, ruled by President Henry Heisenberg with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, anti-smoking policies, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 2.597 billion Fre Rhissians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Strahull. The average income tax rate is 69.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Fre Rhissian economy, worth 251 trillion Credits a year, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 97,023 Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Military minds worry that 'the blue screen of death' on brand new operating systems may be a literal description, the price of takeaway food quadruples after 6pm, factories grind to a halt every time there is an election, and a government program is underway to revitalize Fre Rhissey's beaches. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fre Rhissey's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Christianity and Istharism.

Fre Rhissey is ranked 23,446^th in the world and 50^th in Declansburg for Most Beautiful Environments, with 938.84 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
