The Not-So-Secret Mod Puppet of Fris is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Fris with an iron fist, and renowned for its zero percent divorce rate, free-roaming dinosaurs, and aversion to nipples. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 22.465 billion Frisians 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, 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 Town. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 69.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Frisian economy, worth a remarkable 4,345 trillion credits 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 Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Woodchip Exports. 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 impressive 193,443 credits, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 664,798 per year while the poor average 41,276, a ratio of 16.1 to 1.

Travellers are often forcibly evicted by torch-bearing mobs, the bonfire of the old paper records can be seen for miles around Town, the men in trenchcoats hanging around playgrounds are actually police officers, and Fris's family members carry literal get-out-of-jail-free cards. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fris's national animal is the beagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Fris is ranked 274,685^th in the world and 14^th in Space Sector RPRA for Most Primitive, scoring -279.19 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
