The Emirate of Frothensia is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Irk with a fair hand, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, infamous sell-swords, and pith helmet sales. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 1.653 billion Frothenesians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lagen. The average income tax rate is 55.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Frothensian economy, worth 189 trillion Impors a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 114,643 Impors, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

The government says that Possession is nine-tenths of the Lore, young children are regularly seen wagering pocket money at blackjack tables, Frothensian athletes are close to breaking the 2 minute mile and the 16 meter long jump, and tourists are forbidden to enter Native Frothensian lands. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Frothensia's national animal is the Pink Dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Bwoah.

Frothensia is ranked 21,274^th in the world and 378^th in 10000 Islands for Smartest Citizens, with 59.69 quips per hour.
