The Holy Empire of Imprisoned Freeman is a huge, cultured nation, notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, compulsory military service, and frequent executions. The hard-working population of 592 million Imprisoned Freemen 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 government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Buggerland. The average income tax rate is 52.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Imprisoned Freemanian economy, worth 62.8 trillion Thingamajigs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 106,109 Thingamajigs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

A faint smell of body odour can be detected at several miles' distance from the National Science Park, swings are now more popular than see-saws in children's playgrounds, euthanasia is illegal, and satellite images show safe electoral constituencies in complete darkness. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Imprisoned Freeman's national animal is the Levitating Ostrich, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Imprisoned Freeman is ranked 17,091^st in the world and 496^th in The East Pacific for Largest Information Technology Sector, scoring 18,599.96 on the Fann-Boi Productivity Index.
