Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Lawless Community of Fraton is a colossal, socially progressive nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 8.055 billion live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded individuals juggles the competing demands of Commerce, Education, and Religion & Spirituality. Income tax is unheard of. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Gambling, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining industries.

Elections have become procedural nightmares due to voters persistently rejecting candidates, 'The Anti-Government Hour' is a popular programme on many of Fraton's radio stations, euthanasia is legal, and politicians are often found scavenging bins at night to supplement their income. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is crippling, probably because of the country's utter lack of prisons. Fraton's national animal is the aardvark, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the coin.

Fraton is ranked 621st in 10000 Islands and 7,023rd in the world for Most Influential, scoring 50 on the Soft Power Disbursement Rating.
