The People's Republic of Frontinu is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, state-planned economy, and aversion to nipples. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 6.748 billion Frontinuans 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 large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 49.0%.

The Frontinuan economy, worth 370 trillion francs 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 a large, well-organized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, Trout Farming, and Cheese Exports. 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 54,843 francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.5 times as much as the poorest.

Major cities shut down as their local sports team takes to the field every day, stony-faced prosecutors play loud gangster rap music during court proceedings, future forecasters fearfully discuss grey goo and human obsolescence, and the "blue screen of death" forces many trials to be either aborted or restarted. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Frontinu's national animal is the elephant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Frontinu is ranked 186,528th in the world and 476th in Jihad Army of the Emperor for Most Primitive, scoring -74.21 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
