The Blessed Kingdom of Du Frey is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Princess Serphaela with an iron fist, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, avant-garde cinema, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 2.696 billion Du Freyians 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 large, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ciudad Este. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 37.6%.

The all-consuming Du Freyian economy, worth 175 trillion Axixican Pesos a year, is quite specialized and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Woodchip Exports, and Trout Farming. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 64,937 Axixican Pesos, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 346,436 per year while the poor average 6,396, a ratio of 54.2 to 1.

Buildings are experiencing some new ten-ants, those found guilty of illicit affairs are jailed, printing ink yields Sheolite Selfindulgence's biggest return on investment, and the nation proudly hosts OstraCon to decide who gets free vacations to the Brancaland tundra. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Du Frey's national animal is the Copper Fox, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Sheolite Selfindulgence.

Du Frey is ranked 57,472nd in the world and 4th in The Unrecoverables for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 4,410.16 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
