Overview
The Sensible Commonwealth of The Freethinkers is a conglomerate of one central nation, 'Mainland' located in the Equatorial Atlantic, along with the two autonomous provinces of 'Midland', in temperate Haven in the North Pacific, and the Fargon Archipelago in the far North Atlantic.
The Freethinker Commonwealth is a powerful, democratic nation with a strong tradition of exploration and tolerance, backed up by a powerful but benevolent government and a military that, though relatively small, is one of the best equipped of its era. A strong maritime tradition, both civilian and Naval, runs through the nation and especially in the capital, Navarre, linked with the mass immigration and multicutural make-up of Freethinker society.
The Freethinker Commonwealth is an active member of the Organisation_of_Haven_States, the Osaka_Security_Treaty, the Organisation_of_Maritime_Powers and the New_Alliance_Treaty_Organization. It has forfeited UN membership over disagreements over Economic soverignty, but nonetheless supports the ideals of the organisation and The Freethinker Commonwealth is an active supporter of Freedom and Civil Rights on the national and international stage.

Economy
The Freethinker economy is run mostly by the private sector with the Government regulating and supplying Public and Merit goods where the Free Market fails to provide social optimality. Capitalism and Entrepreneurship are encouraged to a large extent but in turn Companies are expected to act with Social Responsibility with regards to their employees and resource consumption.
Currency
The official currency of The Freethinkers is the Mintel (FMT or MT), created to replace the pound when the The Freethinker Commonwealth became independent of the British Empire in 1887. The subunit of currency is the 'Copper' and there are 100 Coppers (Cp) to the Mintel. The currency is represented in both metal Coinage and paper Banknotes.
Coinage is found in the following denominations:
1Cp, 2Cp, 5Cp, 10Cp, 20Cp, 50Cp, 1MT, 2MT, 5MT,
Banknotes are found in the following denominations:
5MT, 10MT, 20MT, 50MT, 100MT, 500MT, 1000MT(very rare and generally only used by large banks as a cash reserve)
The Freethinkers maintains a floating exchange rate with other currencies and currently maintains a foreign exchange price of around US$2 with most other economies. Several Foreign currencies, such as the USR's SUMU are also accepted in many places.
