The People's Republic of Frorvik is a very large, cultured nation, remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, state-planned economy, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 258 million Frors are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Winter's Gate. The average income tax rate is 74.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Frorvikr economy, worth 2.54 trillion Runes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 9,849 Runes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Frorvik has designated Winter's Gate as its capital city, mothers are routinely abandoning their children in the name of women's rights, in musicals everybody's a little bit racist, and juries deliberate more than magic 8-balls. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Frorvik's national animal is the Raven, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Frorvik is ranked 43,139^th in the world and 133^rd in Refugia for Most Cultured, scoring 74 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
