The Free Land of Svobodala is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Ascanius Veritas with a fair hand, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, daily referendums, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 2.121 billion Svobodalish hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Svobodala City. The average income tax rate is 61.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Svobese economy, worth 288 trillion Shells a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Retail, and Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 135,940 Shells, with the richest citizens earning 5.1 times as much as the poorest.

The blood, sweat, and tears of poor Svobodalish make research institutes rich, libraries are replacing history books and classic novels with technical manuals and trades directories to match the nation's changing demands, most ambassadors from Svobodala retire only a few years after being appointed, and the parliament doubled in size recently. Crime is totally unknown. Svobodala's national animal is the Kiwi, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Svobese paganism.

Svobodala is ranked 17,520^th in the world and 989^th in Lazarus for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 1,280.67 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
