Unlike the police in Gru's neighborhood, the Freedonian police are harsh on crime, as revealed when a police chase quickly ensued after Dru stole candy although, instead of police cars, they ride bikes or pigs to chase Gru and Dru. During the Gru family's visit, Freedonians are having a Cheese Festival, where there are bustling market stalls of candy and crowded celebration activities, people wear traditional dress with children and little girls having a cheese dance as part of betrothal there are also cheese statues for celebration. Freedonia has a Mediterranean appearance, though the inhabitants speak English, they wear German clothing and have German writing as tradition.
