The United States of Frogfort is a very large, efficient nation, remarkable for its zero percent divorce rate, infamous sell-swords, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 299 million Frogforters are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The tiny, moralistic, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.8%.

The all-consuming Frogfortian economy, worth 27.6 trillion Ghurbagheh francs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Cheese Exports, and Trout Farming. Average income is 92,446 Ghurbagheh francs, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 294,509 per year while the poor average 22,076, a ratio of 13.3 to 1.

Everyone has the equal opportunity to have their wallet stolen, directors of low-budget sci-fi films are flocking to use Frogfort City as a backdrop, charity distribution sites are regularly raided by the police, and other worlds are informed of limited-time sales millennia after they conclude. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Frogfort's national animal is the Shirazi Frog.

Frogfort is ranked 264,870^th in the world and 962^nd in the Outback for Largest Black Market, with 115 billion Standard Monetary Units.
