Freedonia is a nonindustrial, rich, agricultural world with improving living conditions due to a bustling agro-economy.

• As an agricultural world, this world is a near-ideal environment for producing quality foodstuffs of plant, animal, and other forms. Quality foodstuffs are a major export commodity for this world.
• It requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society. Having to import most manufactured and high tech goods drives the price up for these items at this world.
• This is a rich world with a prosperous and thriving world economy.
• Its economy is bustling and an increase in living conditions is expected in the near future.
• It is a Non-Aligned world dominated by human sophonts located in the Inverness Subsector of Far Frontiers Sector.

• This is a "high technology" world with technology achievements at, near, or above the standard for Charted Space.
• This world-system has a Naval Base, usually associated with military starships, which may be located on or off-world.

Most ports of this classification have both a Highport and a Downport.
