The Queen of the Valkyries of Freya is a mammoth, orderly nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, state-planned economy, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 8.894 billion Freyans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 62.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Freyan economy, worth 476 trillion runes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 53,569 runes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

People who tease dwarfs are being cut down to size, boats straying just metres away from the shore will raise the ire of the Coast Guard, prisoners can't do number twos without their "toilet buddy" present, and graffiti artists spend lengthy periods of time in jail. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Freya's national animal is the valkyrie, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Freya is ranked 260,091^st in the world and 2,755^th in Remembrance for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring -5.1 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
