The Rogue Nation of Fretaria is a massive, orderly nation, renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, ritual sacrifices, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 1.638 billion Fretarians enjoy great individual freedoms in everything except elections, which, where they exist at all, are populist shams for a dictatorship government that has no intention of ever giving up power.

The medium-sized, corrupt, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 36.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Fretarian economy, worth 244 trillion blooms a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Uranium Mining, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an impressive 148,963 blooms, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,337,954 per year while the poor average 2,095, a ratio of 638 to 1.

Lip-readers are often left perplexed by political rallies, every school is receiving a brand new eraser, dictionary sales have hit an all-time high, and seven-year-olds debate for weeks on the merits of the Oxford comma. Crime is a problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Fretaria's national animal is the penguin, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Fretaria is ranked 306,092^nd in the world and 453^rd in Federation Of Sovereign States for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring -7.75 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
