The Dizzy Flying Saucers of Doom of Frisbeeteria is a gargantuan, economically powerful nation, ruled by CEO G Winston Riegle with an even hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 16.565 billion are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The small, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defence, and Commerce. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Greenspan. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 1%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture industries.

Teenagers stay out into the wee hours of the morning "stargazing", inheritance tax has recently been abolished, tourists need only sign on the dotted line to become citizens, and the 'kind of scrawny' 500 meter hurdle is a popular event. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is pervasive, probably because of the country's utter lack of prisons. Frisbeeteria's national animal is the Cow, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the FrisB.

Frisbeeteria is ranked 26th in Texas and 8,890th in the world for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring 10 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
