The Democratic Republic of Frelon is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Sofia Davidova with a fair hand, and notable for its parental licensing program, smutty television, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 4.094 billion Frelonians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Frelon City. The average income tax rate is 95.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Frelonian economy, worth 538 trillion Goldenrods a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Trout Farming. Average income is an impressive 131,514 Goldenrods, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Lifelong celibates are surprised to receive government-issue condoms in the post, guilt tripped foreigners heavily dictate child hunger in Frelon, people can't decide between preserving forests and buying print copies of 'Dogman Versus The Giggler', and children gain their first sex education from reading the dictionary. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Frelon's national animal is the tiger moth, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Frelon is ranked 285,530^th in the world and 182^nd in Federation Of Sovereign States for Largest Black Market, with 52.0 billion Standard Monetary Units.
