The Viking Empire of Frayst0n is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by King Askeladd with an even hand, and notable for its compulsory military service, aversion to nipples, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 2.842 billion Fraystonions are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small government prioritizes Defense, although Industry, Law & Order, and Administration are also considered important, while International Aid and Spirituality receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Jomsborg. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Frayst0nian economy, worth 299 trillion Marks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 105,207 Marks, with the richest citizens earning 9.8 times as much as the poorest.

The backs of 'No Trespassing' signs were made for you and me, heartbroken parents are urged to "smile for the camera", war criminals are given full state funerals, and pretending to be prejudiced is a good way to get out of jury duty. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Frayst0n's national animal is the Wolf, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities, and its national religion is Old Norse Paganism.

Frayst0n is ranked 280,736^th in the world and 1^st in Ersiom for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 25.14 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
