The Federation of Frigolia is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Philippe with a fair hand, and remarkable for its unlimited-speed roads, daily referendums, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.984 billion Frigolians 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 government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Domelgad. The average income tax rate is 86.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Frigolian economy, worth 141 trillion Lorms a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 71,293 Lorms, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Feuilletons can only be deciphered with a Galliennais dictionary, folk are absolutely certain that you can never be absolutely certain, poaching has been on the rise after animals from the nation's zoos were released into the wild, and Frigolia has one of the largest offshore wind farms in the world. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Frigolia's national animal is the Owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Agnosticism.

Frigolia is ranked 269,391^st in the world and 300^th in Refugia for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -9.26 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
