The Holy Noble Principality of Fred House is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its avant-garde cinema, disturbing lack of elderly people, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, devout population of 3.653 billion Fred Houseans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fred Land. The average income tax rate is 38.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Fred Housean economy, worth 528 trillion Pounds 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 large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. 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 an impressive 144,598 Pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Beating enemies to death with a baseball bat is legal if done within nine innings, devotion to God is only skin-deep, pretending to be prejudiced is a good way to get out of jury duty, and it is illegal to liberate slaves. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fred House's national animal is the Unicorn, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Fred House is ranked 61,284^th in the world and 4^th in Supernovaland for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,654.3 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
