The Nomadic Peoples of Froppill is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Aristoadle Von Ribbit IV with an iron fist, and remarkable for its prohibition of alcohol, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 4.509 billion Froppillians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Froppolis. The average income tax rate is 89.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Froppillian economy, worth 390 trillion Fropas a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 86,530 Fropas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

People faint regularly as they get stuck with compulsory vaccinations, the practice of capital punishment proves divisive, the new Refuse Hills housing development is under construction, and Aristoadle Von Ribbit IV reduces citizens' commute times by giving away their homes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Froppill's national animal is the Taddepol, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Froppill is ranked 126,930^th in the world and 2,020^th in The East Pacific for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 2,346.8 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
