The District of Friends Society is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Liard with a fair hand, and renowned for its irreverence towards religion, absence of drug laws, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 30.564 billion Socials live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of District City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.9%.

The very strong Friends Societyian economy, worth a remarkable 1,164 trillion aurums a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and dominated by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Arms Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 38,114 aurums, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 259,132 per year while the poor average 2,047, a ratio of 126 to 1.

Liard has just been declared ruler of Friends Society in an international press conference, the government's official stance on religion is that it is so very silly, Liard is convinced that other nations can simply be "junked" (Friends Society has found 1 easter egg), and stealing from a clothesline is a serious offence. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Friends Society's national animal is the bovina, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Friends Society is ranked 265,924^th in the world and 16^th in Pennsylvania for Safest, scoring 12.5 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
