	Freedonia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Freedonia, ("Land of the Spree, and the Home of the Knave"), is a fictional country in Europe, seen during the 1933 movie Duck Soup, which starred the Marx Brothers.
		In the movie, Freedonia is suffering from severe financial problems, and government leaders request a loan from wealthy widow Mrs.
		The question of the "situation in Freedonia" was asked to a candidate in a Senate debate, and after the candidate said she was keeping an eye on it, there was no allowed time for the other candidates to challenge her about the existence of the country.

		Freedonia and Sylvania were created by a small cadre of French Foreign Legionnaires on a leave of absence, among whom is Bon Chance Louis, (which would seem to indicate French support for the effort) American Mercenaries and soldiers of fortune from the world over.
		Freedonia is ruled in absentia by the Politboro.

	Free Trade without the WTO (December 1999)
		Thus the harm that the Freedonia government has done with its tariff continues to be limited to two groups of people - the consumers and producers of Libertonia juice.
		Freedonia consumers of Libertonia beef and Libertonia consumers of Freedonia cheese and wine continue to improve their standard of living even though Freedonia consumers of Libertonia juice and Libertonia producers of juice are suffering from the protective tariff that Freedonia officials have imposed.
		Ultimately, the answer lies in Freedonia consumers' persuading their legislators to repeal the juice tariff that is interfering with their freedom of choice and their well-being.

	Hail, Hail, Freedonia!
		What makes Freedonia interesting is not so much how a libertarian nation is run but the fact that it is bordered by several statist nations including the grievous Sylvania which delights in coshing its citizens for 55% of their GDP each burdensome year.
		How Freedonia began to emerge from the darkness of statism is a tale for another day, but suffice to say that its good citizens came to their senses and ousted the political ruling class in a relatively bloodless manner as befits a non-coercive system of practise.
		A person emigrating to Freedonia will have their position refilled, but the companies beginning to relocate there are beginning to affect the desperate attempts of the Sylvanian government to fill the gaps with State-controlled startups.

	Burdenland and Freedonia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		To be competitive, businesses in Burdenland will move their manufacturing operations to Freedonia where costs are lower (lower taxes and/or less expensive labor), but this erodes the tax base and aggravates the problem.
		Freedonia undoubtedly enjoys a trade surplus with Burdenland and will thus be in a position to finance Burdenlands debt with its surplus ducats (the unit of currency).
		To do otherwise is tantamount to Burdenland subsidizing Freedonia (and the businesses that move their manufacturing to Freedonia) which would be a silly domestic policy because it is neither fair nor in Burdenland's best interests to do so.

		The use of both short and longer sequences give the film an added texture and punctuation, whilst the apparent simplicity of the film hides the patience and effort filming such situations demands.
