The Queendom of The Friendly Folk is a massive, genial nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service. The hard-working, cynical population of 2.388 billion Friendly Folkians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Defense, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 17.6%.

The Friendly Folkian economy, worth 124 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Cheese Exports, and Trout Farming. Average income is 52,051 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Friendly Folk's national animal is the horse, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

The Friendly Folk is ranked 237,146^th in the world and 5^th in Mother Knows Best for Largest Black Market, with 249 billion Standard Monetary Units.
