Its hard-nosed population of 2.371 billion have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Defence, and Law & Order. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mons Pubis. The average income tax rate is 39%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, followed by Information Technology and Book Publishing.

Murder victims' families receive windfall payouts when the murderers are executed, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, the government has cut its subsidies for all special interest groups, and the nation is famous for having one of the world's largest Rooster hunting institutions. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Frenulumnia's national animal is the Rooster, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Wang.

Frenulumnia is ranked 3,898th in The North Pacific and 82,468th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -3 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
