The Pluricontinental Union of Frezko Islands is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Don Kovro I Aħdar of Frezko with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, anti-smoking policies, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 26.221 billion Frizchen love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Environment, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gaude. The average income tax rate is 92.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Frizch economy, worth a remarkable 2,641 trillion Frizch cerles a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 100,756 Frizch cerles, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Bin lorries have replaced birds as the source of the dawn chorus, preservative manufacturers are told to put a lid on it, people with dyslexia are told to tough through it, and war memorials have been modified to include hammocks for napping. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Frezko Islands's national animal is the Balvurian condor, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Ocanism.

Frezko Islands is ranked 226,237^th in the world and 3^rd in Sovereign Charter for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring -7 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
