Geography
Free Country has large rolling hills/bushes and green fields. It has a pond with a wharf. It has deciduous trees and has no fauna, save for a few crickets, at least one fly and a Cockroach.
Politics
The King of Town is the self-conferred sovereign whose reign is not recognized by the populace. Strongbadia is a semi-autonomous enclave within its borders. In Marzipan's Answering Machine, Strong Bad pretends to be a man running for 'elected official' named Bob Statesman.
Economics
The local currency is US dollars (Though the use of pencil shavings as currency was started by The Cheat in lackey). However, a strong barter system exists allowing trade of goods and services. Most local commerce occurs at Bubs' Concession Stand.
In Marzipan's 8th Answering Machine, Homestar says, "What's up Waukegan?" (Possibly 'Paukegan', something he probably made up). This would place him in northern Illionois.
History
In the 1930s, Free Country was a home for dirt roads, picket fences, carnival tents and antiquated Industrial Revolution-era factories.
A possible future takes place in the year 20X6, and on Planet K. It looks much like it does today, albeit married with a futuristic city.
