The Most Serene Republic of Frise is a huge, socially progressive nation, notable for its compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 357 million Friseans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government is dominated by the Department of Spirituality, with Defense and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Industry and Environment aren't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 24.5%.

The Frisean economy, worth 13.8 trillion Gilders a year, is led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Basket Weaving, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 38,574 Gilders, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force. Frise's national animal is the Holstein Cow.

Frise is ranked 115,792^nd in the world and 296^th in Council of Asia for Safest, scoring 78.84 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
