The Pastoral Mutiny of Sovereign Wilderness is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Freemen's Council with a fair hand, and renowned for its national health service, compulsory vegetarianism, and complete lack of prisons. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 13.748 billion Freemen love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded, outspoken government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Administration, Environment, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of William's Burroughs. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Free economy, worth a remarkable 2,491 trillion hours a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is solely comprised of the Basket Weaving industry. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is an impressive 181,249 hours, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Freemen believe manners maketh the leader, a five-year-old and a convicted terrorist can sit alongside one another in jury service, group hugs break out during floor votes, and cutting remarks are the limit of Freemen's Council's violent tendencies. Crime is totally unknown. Sovereign Wilderness's national animal is the Sovereign Moose, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Wild Hunt.

Sovereign Wilderness is ranked 6,421st in the world and 8th in The Horde for Lowest Crime Rates, with 110.55 law-abiding acts per hour.
