The Community of Little Friendship is a massive, genial nation, notable for its complete lack of prisons, parental licensing program, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.533 billion Little Friendshipians 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 government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, outspoken morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dew Drop. The average income tax rate is 82.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Little Friendshipian economy, worth 52.5 trillion Barters a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving and Gambling. Average income is 34,232 Barters, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Survivors receive aid from only the most environmentally-friendly transport, 50% of adverts on children's television are for clothes made of cotton wool, untold millions of Barters are going into a new government-funded maternity leave scheme, and international terrorists often get their weapons supply in Little Friendship. Crime is totally unknown. Little Friendship's national animal is the house cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Little Friendship is ranked 22,502^nd in the world and 649^th in the South Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 6,675.14 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
