The Union of Frokolia is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Karsten von Auffenberg with a fair hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, rampant corporate plagiarism, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 8.367 billion Froks hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt, liberal, outspoken government is primarily concerned with Industry, although Education, Administration, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Köseroff. The average income tax rate is 81.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Frokolian economy, worth a remarkable 2,643 trillion Frokimarks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Retail, Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 315,916 Frokimarks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Nature reserves often contain artificial waterfalls and concrete paths, the horniness of the great-horned White-tailed Eagle is considered a national priority, the government is washing its hands of alleged corruption, and Karsten von Auffenberg is strangely popular with male politicians' wives. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Frokolia's national animal is the White-tailed Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Frokolia is ranked 7,213^th in the world and 356^th in The North Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 477.29 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
