The Emirate of Fron-Grand is a colossal, orderly nation, remarkable for its deadly medical pandemics, avant-garde cinema, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 6.416 billion Fron-Grandians 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 relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Industry, with Administration, Education, and Defense also on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 15.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The powerhouse Fron-Grandian economy, worth 536 trillion dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 83,551 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.
Owning a really cute pet is grounds for immediate investigation, spousal homicide rates have tripled in recent months, saying the word 'eggplant' is now a criminal offense, and teddy bears and pajamas have replaced briefcases and suits in Fron-Grand's offices. Crime is a serious problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Fron-Grand's national animal is the fox, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Fron-Grand is ranked 263,348th in the world and 1,279th in Jihad Army of the Emperor for Lowest Crime Rates, with 43.34 law-abiding acts per hour.
