The Empire of Freeview is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Supremely Glorious and Magnificent Levi with an iron fist, and notable for its otherworldly petting zoo, soft-spoken computers, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 10.216 billion Freians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Law & Order, Administration, and Education are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Riverside. The average income tax rate is 95.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Freian economy, worth a remarkable 3,272 trillion Credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 320,363 Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The country has been 'going shopping' by annexing nearby nations for their resources, the nation's industries are scrambling to switch to biodegradable plastics, soldiers are taught to throw their guns at their enemies once the bullets have run out, and cars speed down national highways while drivers sleep at the wheel. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Freeview's national animal is the Penguin, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Freian.

Freeview is ranked 17,287^th in the world and 973^rd in Lazarus for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 7,701.73 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
