The People's Republic of Frorvik is a very large, socially progressive nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 299 million Frors are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Winter's Gate. The average income tax rate is 75.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Frorvikr economy, worth 2.10 trillion Runes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 7,007 Runes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Ride-sharing often involves some passengers sitting on the roof rack, witnesses have to run a gauntlet of mob enforcers to testify at trials, invasive drug testing is now performed at elementary school sports days, and doctors are learning that red tape makes ineffective bandages. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Frorvik's national animal is the Raven, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Frorvik is ranked 288,690^th in the world and 190^th in Refugia for Largest Populations, with 299 million capita.
