The Republic of Frismana is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Pertti Valentyna with an even hand, and remarkable for its vat-grown people, absence of drug laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, humorless population of 4.758 billion Frismanans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hell Creek. The average income tax rate is 90.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Frismanan economy, worth 783 trillion Frismanan Florins a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 164,563 Frismanan Florins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Pertti Valentyna's power is effectively nullified as no bill becomes law without the upper house's support, the television adaptation of Jennifer Government is the most popular program in the nation, the government prefers to kill off its enemies by peaceful means, and the Frismanan basket weaving sector is on the brink of collapse as cheap imports flood the market. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Frismana's national animal is the Thanatorskiavenator, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

Frismana is ranked 158,438^th in the world and 2,514^th in The North Pacific for Most Extensive Civil Rights, with 53.89 Martin Luther King, Jr. Units.
