The Uncivilized and Vile Manners of Frattastan II is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Josef K with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, free-roaming dinosaurs, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 23.805 billion Molotov-throwing rioters are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government is primarily concerned with Education, although Industry, Social Policy, and Environment are also considered important, while Spirituality and Law & Order are ignored. The average income tax rate is 94.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Frattastanian economy, worth a remarkable 4,681 trillion francolinos 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, quite specialized black market in Book Publishing, Tourism, and Information Technology. 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 an impressive 196,678 francolinos, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Education and welfare spending are on the rise, the military maintains a fierce arsenal of 'Cure Missiles', weekends are spent tilting at windmills, and orphans would rather live their life of luxury than be adopted by prospective parents. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Frattastan II's national animal is the guerrilla fighter, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Spinozism.

Frattastan II is ranked 2,242nd in the world and 38th in the Rejected Realms for Most Cultured, scoring 251 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
