The Corporate Megastate of Frestatia is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Zatros Kayro with an iron fist, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, smutty television, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 2.488 billion Frestatians 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 tiny, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Distretto Governativo. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Frestatian economy, worth 410 trillion Liberas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Soda Sales, and Information Technology. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 165,056 Liberas, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 926,368 per year while the poor average 14,562, a ratio of 63.6 to 1.

Government bureaucrats review designs for birdhouses to ensure they do not block the views of neighbors, cities are engulfed by smog, Zatros Kayro can finally stop kneading the dough and start rolling in it instead, and a the Rejected Realms Tourist Association survey has rated Frestatia #1 for number twos. Crime, especially youth-related, is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Frestatia's national animal is the Rattlesnake, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is The Cult of Capitalism.

Frestatia is ranked 285,179th in the world and 6,898th in the Rejected Realms for Most Beautiful Environments, with 4.21 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
