The Utilitarian Republic of Freedom and Democratic Socialist is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Ray Miracle with an even hand, and remarkable for its infamous sell-swords, smutty television, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.35 billion Utilitarians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Internationale. The average income tax rate is 96.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Utilitarian economy, worth 615 trillion Social Welfares a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 183,610 Social Welfares, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government recently donated a surfboard to an impoverished family in a landlocked region, Utilitarian husbands are dead good at fathering kids, schools have extensive counseling programs for troubled students, and police officers that upset their bosses get assigned to 24 hour stakeouts of bike sheds. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Freedom and Democratic Socialist's national animal is the Homo Neandhertal, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Utilitarianism.

Freedom and Democratic Socialist is ranked 240,412^th in the world and 4,436^th in The North Pacific for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring -3.16 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
