The Republic of Fremet is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Erna Solberg with an even hand, and notable for its avant-garde cinema, pith helmet sales, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 20.24 billion Fremetians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Trondheim. The average income tax rate is 98.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Fremetian economy, worth a remarkable 3,946 trillion Francs a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 194,985 Francs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Turnstile jumpers grow up to be tax cheats, the atmosphere in Fremetian boardrooms is turning more gay, AI citizens are criticized for being robotic, and Erna Solberg's used car is held together by bumper stickers that support the opposition. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fremet's national animal is the Snowy Owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is None.

Fremet is ranked 4,495^th in the world and 15^th in European Union for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 20,061 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
