“Somalia ain't got nothing on this”

The Lawless Community of Fraton is a huge, economically powerful nation, notable for its unlimited-speed roads. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 951 million 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, corrupt, pro-business individuals is effectively ruled by the Department of Commerce, with areas such as Law & Order and the Environment receiving almost no funds by comparison. Income tax is unheard of. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Uranium Mining, Gambling, and Woodchip Exports industries.

An increasing percentage of the population's youth have homosexual parents, it is illegal for police officers to carry out searches due to strict privacy laws, door-to-door salesmen are frequently beaten up by 'vigilantes', and genetic research has been halted. 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 626th in the region and 44,541st in the world for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector.
