The Republic of Free DC is a large, safe nation, renowned for its smutty television, sprawling nuclear power plants, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 176 million Washingtonians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Public Transport. The average income tax rate is 37.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Washingtonian economy, worth 4.67 trillion dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Tourism. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 26,513 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Shanty towns are forming in the suburbs of major cities, the long arm of the law possesses a rather slow hand, the government is spending millions on renovating the public transportation system, and endangered bison are herded across the border to prevent them from trampling on native prairie grass. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Free DC's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Free DC is ranked 230,435^th in the world and 35^th in Hippy Haven for Highest Poor Incomes, with 18,466.82 Standard Monetary Units.
