Overview • Factbook • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Grand Duchy of Frontia is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Great Duke with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and ban on automobiles. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.266 billion Frontians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Eria. The average income tax rate is 69.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Frontian economy, worth 310 trillion Argents a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 94,941 Argents, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The jails are alive with the sound of birdsong, the dessert 'Death by Chocolate' isn't the most lethal dish on the menu, invasive species are hunted by the gendarmerie, and Great Duke has just been declared ruler of Frontia in an international press conference. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Frontia's national animal is the Purple Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Frontia is ranked 39,481^st in the world and 1,376^th in The North Pacific for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 51.96 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
