The Holy Empire of Friostchland is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Froi IV with an iron fist, and remarkable for its closed borders, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 3.225 billion Friostchs are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order and Industry also on the agenda, while Social Policy and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of FRUDATINOPOLISIA. The average income tax rate is 70.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Friostchlandian economy, worth 624 trillion Euros a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Basket Weaving, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 193,794 Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

Homes have been banned from having any more than one wheel, billions of Euros are being blown on orbital weapons development, birds and children's kites are regularly brought down by anti-aircraft fire, and children are often punished for the sins of the fathers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Friostchland's national animal is the Alligator, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Froiotism.

Friostchland is ranked 3,760^th in the world and 198^th in Lazarus for Most Patriotic, with 83.3 flags saluted per person per day.
