The Dystopia of Free Radio States is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by PXY with an even hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, deadly medical pandemics, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 10.911 billion Worshipper of Felixes have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Felix City. The average income tax rate is 75.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Worshipping Felix economy, worth a remarkable 4,113 trillion Felixbucks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Information Technology, Retail, Soda Sales, and Pizza Delivery. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 376,991 Felixbucks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Forgetting to pay your annual passport bill is a leading cause of deportations, all statues and paintings of dogs are being destroyed to avoid offending cat-lovers, families are left homeless as entire suburbs are bulldozed on the whim of tribal chiefs, and mantis shrimp studies is academia's fastest-growing field. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Free Radio States's national animal is the Felix Worshipping Critter, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Cult of Felix.

Free Radio States is ranked 14,167th in the world and 2nd in absolute stupidity for Lowest Crime Rates, with 94.69 law-abiding acts per hour.
