The Kingdom of The FreeState Dominion is a huge, efficient nation, ruled by Yun with an iron fist, and remarkable for its triple-decker prams, pith helmet sales, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 974 million FreeState Dominionians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Celestia. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 58.7%.

The frighteningly efficient FreeState Dominionian economy, worth 145 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is an impressive 149,333 dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 474,228 per year while the poor average 35,826, a ratio of 13.2 to 1.

The nation leads The East Pacific in per capita stalking, children crying over dropped ice creams are offered high doses of experimental antidepressants, a flying elephant and Yun share the same nickname, and even doll houses and dog kennels have to be able to withstand rigorous earthquake testing. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The FreeState Dominion's national animal is the Cat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

The FreeState Dominion is ranked 164,615th in the world and 2,913th in The East Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 209.8 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
