The Fiefdom of Private Frazer is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Lord James Frazer with a fair hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 15.752 billion Private Frazerians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The tiny, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Isle of Barra. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.3%.

The very strong Private Frazerian economy, worth 953 trillion Sovereigns a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Gambling, and Retail. Average income is 60,548 Sovereigns, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 194,745 per year while the poor average 14,258, a ratio of 13.7 to 1.

Pinkerton agents are called in to forcibly break up white collar strikes, Scottish Presbyterianism has been named as Private Frazer's national religion, Lord James Frazer has just been declared ruler of Private Frazer in an international press conference, and Private Frazer has designated The Isle of Barra as its capital city. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a capable police force. Private Frazer's national animal is the Coffin, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Scottish Presbyterianism.

Private Frazer is ranked 179,550^th in the world and 6^th in Walmington on Sea for Lowest Crime Rates, with 58.46 law-abiding acts per hour.
