The Holy Empire of Frezheld is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by His Imperial Majesty Johannes VII with a fair hand, and renowned for its burgeoning Harpy eagle population. The hard-working, democratic population of 12.166 billion Frezheldians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The tiny, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ralda. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.8%.

The strong Frezheldian economy, worth 701 trillion Florins a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Soda Sales industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Book Publishing. Average income is 57,687 Florins, with the richest citizens earning 6.2 times as much as the poorest.

The latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, Frezheld has designated Ralda as its capital city, His Imperial Majesty Johannes VII has just been declared ruler of Frezheld in an international press conference, and the government has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Frezheld's national animal is the Harpy eagle, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities, and its national religion is Ocanism.

Frezheld is ranked 99,853^rd in the world and 4^th in Sunalaya for Nicest Citizens, with 13.62 average smiles per day.
