The Association of Free Collectives is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Speaker Andreas with a fair hand, and notable for its smutty television, free-roaming dinosaurs, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 4.986 billion Freelancers 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 large, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Arkadia. The average income tax rate is 98.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Freelancer economy, worth a remarkable 1,056 trillion Communal Credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an amazing 211,838 Communal Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

People with political aspirations study how to make balloon animals, conversion therapy coupons are a popular present for coming of age ceremonies, several citizens have complained about scientists abducting their pets for experimentation, and arguments about toilet seats being left up or down get surprisingly heated. Crime is totally unknown. Free Collectives's national animal is the Honey Badger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Free Collectives is ranked 3,874^th in the world and 111^th in The Communist Bloc for Safest, scoring 135.13 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
