The Republic of Frow is a very large, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion. The democratic population of 224 million Frowians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 21.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Frowian economy, worth 8.05 trillion pesos a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Tourism, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 35,954 pesos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

The tenet of free speech is held dear, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, and every workday begins with group therapy. Crime is totally unknown. Frow's national animal is the swan.

Frow is ranked 228,040^th in the world and 3^rd in Minuscule for Most Cultured, scoring 64 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
