The Free Land of Presentina is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Free Land Council with a fair hand, and remarkable for its frequent executions, irreverence towards religion, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 4.168 billion Presentinans 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, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Calite. The average income tax rate is 70.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Presentinan economy, worth 303 trillion Preeses a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 72,735 Preeses, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Sex changes are routinely performed at Presentina's hospitals, the carbon tax fund gladly supplies warm blankets when the poor can't pay their heating bills, children's TV shows are having a gay old time, and patriotic citizens chant "there's only one Presentina" at foreigners. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Presentina's national animal is the Capitalists, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Presentina is ranked 35,226^th in the world and 554^th in The Communist Bloc for Lowest Crime Rates, with 79.87 law-abiding acts per hour.
