The Free State of Befreitland is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Ashen Oake with a fair hand, and notable for its daily referendums, absence of drug laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, humorless population of 11.951 billion Befreitlans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, corrupt, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fremont. The average income tax rate is 99.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Befreit economy, worth a remarkable 2,063 trillion monetary units a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Retail, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 172,642 monetary units, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Graffiti graces every city's streets, an increasing percentage of the population's youth have homosexual parents, increasing inclusiveness is a sign of the times, and the Befreit Intelligence Agency relies on internet search engines to know what is happening overseas. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Befreitland's national animal is the cow, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Befreitland is ranked 15,463^rd in the world and 6^th in Sonindia for Safest, scoring 116.37 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
