The United Warbands of Of the Tyrannical Frogs is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Saint Edmund with an even hand, and remarkable for its disturbing lack of elderly people, suspicion of poets, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 6.065 billion Frogsians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.
The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of San Edmundo. The average income tax rate is 91.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Frogsian economy, worth a remarkable 1,185 trillion Aureuses a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 195,462 Aureuses, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.
It is quite common for bar patrons to discuss Wittgenstein over cordials and games of backgammon, the military has had its funding stripped back as the nation seeks a smaller role in international politics, it's said that any enemy of democracy is a friend to Saint Edmund, and the Wedge-Tailed Eagles of Of the Tyrannical Frogs are surprisingly well-adjusted. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Of the Tyrannical Frogs's national animal is the Wedge-Tailed Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Piracy.
Of the Tyrannical Frogs is ranked 32,373rd in the world and 713th in The North Pacific for Most Conservative, scoring 79.92 on the Bush-Santorum Dawning Terror Index.
