The Republic of Frailty is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by Graves with a fair hand, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, smutty television, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 5.13 billion Frail hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Amed. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 27.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Frail economy, worth 487 trillion TaloCoins a year, is led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is notable. Average income is 94,846 TaloCoins, with the richest citizens earning 7.1 times as much as the poorest.

The government's new "quiet competence" initiative has supporters and detractors alike reeling in confusion, soylent products are an expensive commodity due to a lack of volunteers, everybody's got wood thanks to Graves, and parents giddily refuse to pay their toddlers' medical bills. Crime, especially youth-related, is a major problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Frailty's national animal is the Silverfish, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Frailty is ranked 77,792^nd in the world and 12^th in Heliopolis for Most Politically Free, scoring 72.19 on the Diebold Election Inking Scale.
