The Holy Empire of Friostchland

“I will rule my Fellow country men with an Iron Fist”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Holy Empire of Friostchland is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Froi IV with an iron fist, and remarkable for its otherworldly petting zoo, enslaved workforce, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 3.141 billion Friostchs are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order and Industry are also considered important, while Social Policy and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of FRUDATINOPOLISIA. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 68.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Friostchlandian economy, worth 592 trillion Euros a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Basket Weaving, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 188,774 Euros, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 691,369 per year while the poor average 36,523, a ratio of 18.9 to 1.

The hip spot of the season is just over that way, creating cardboard imitations of missiles is a new top-secret military project, postcards from Friostchlandian driving test centres are popular souvenirs, and an increasing number of citizens believe the world is flat. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Friostchland's national animal is the Alligator, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Froiotism.

Friostchland is ranked 229,529^th in the world and 8,720^th in Lazarus for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -6.15 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
