The Community of Frog Hall is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, ban on automobiles, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 15.279 billion Frog Hallians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, moralistic government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Administration, and Industry are also considered important, while International Aid receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lincoln. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 33.0%.

The thriving Frog Hallian economy, worth 892 trillion Pounds a year, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Arms Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 58,441 Pounds, with the richest citizens earning 8.5 times as much as the poorest.

New legislators take a week-long class entitled "Keeping Your Job: How to Avoid Offending Leader", parents tell their children 'what a lovely mistake you turned out to be', disaster victims are viewed with disdain, and builders spend more time negotiating "tasteful architecture" than on actual construction. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Frog Hall's national animal is the Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Frog Hall is ranked 211,830^th in the world and 6^th in zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 5,396.32 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
