The Republic of Frieszia is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Prime Minister Leonard Goop with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 1.857 billion Frieszians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gnohalle. The average income tax rate is 90.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Frieszian economy, worth 207 trillion guilders a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Book Publishing, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 111,562 guilders, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Cutting-edge missile systems are being retrofitted to twin-prop air force biplanes, sales of disinfectant wipes have skyrocketed, many suspect the government "doth protest too much" with their curiously specific denials of conspiracy theories, and birth rates have hit an all-time low. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Frieszia's national animal is the coronet lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Frieszia is ranked 69,134^th in the world and 2,799^th in The North Pacific for Highest Drug Use, scoring 82.6 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
