Freeland

Freeland is a prosperous but injust nation, far from Andromeda. It is in perpetual trade war with Chinca.

Culture
Freeland has no culture.

Politics
Freeland is highly federalised, often leaving even the most fundamental handlings of things such as human rights to individual states. Despite claiming to be a free country operating on libertarian principles, Freeland is a police state where public demonstrators are often taken in unmarked vans and never seen again. Despite claiming to be laissez-faire economically, vast amounts of tax revenue are accumulated by the state, though this is mostly invested in wars that have resulted in drastically more 'collateral' civilian deaths than any actual enemy deaths. There is no social welfare and the medical industry is fully privatised, mostly owned by MEGACORP.

Economy
Though robust, the economy of Freeland is heavily dependent on Chinca and MEGACORP, as per The Tripartite Interdependency. MEGACORP is officially based in MEGACORP territory within Freeland.

Land loss
Freeland, like Chinca, has been losing significant amounts of land to MEGACORP. Although MEGACORP are officially banned from owning land on Freeland soil, MEGACORP sidestep this law in two ways, the first being to buy out new land under fake, shell companies, only to then immediately be "gifted" to MEGACORP, the second being to fully buy out existing Freelandian companies. Because most used land in Freeland is private, including roads and even local governments, the continual imperial conquest of Freeland is absurdly easy for MEGACORP.
