The State of Frater is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, complete lack of prisons, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 36.856 billion Fraterians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Welfare, although Industry, Healthcare, and Spirituality are also considered important, while Social Policy and Defense aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.5%.

The thriving Fraterian economy, worth a remarkable 2,226 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 60,421 betales, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 284,659 per year while the poor average 7,615, a ratio of 37.4 to 1.

Voting is voluntary, programmes of questionable content are shown at peak-hours, the adult unemployment rate nears 100% as all available jobs have been filled by young children, and Frater has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime, especially youth-related, is a serious problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Frater's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Frater is ranked 300,377^th in the world and 284^th in State for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring -6.32 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
