The Monarchy of Friaritat is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Queen Saturno with an iron fist, and notable for its closed borders, otherworldly petting zoo, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 10.235 billion Friaritans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lunalia. The average income tax rate is 82.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Friaritatian economy, worth a remarkable 1,280 trillion linos a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 125,078 linos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Cheese lovers have a case of the bleus, trust-fund babies line up for places in community college, grinning punters say that casino roulette is the greatest high that life has to offer, and libraries are now installed with jacuzzis and mini-bars. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Friaritat's national animal is the dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is none.

Friaritat is ranked 12,171^st in the world and 688^th in Lazarus for Most Cultured, scoring 110 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
