The People's Republic of Frorvik is a huge, cultured nation, notable for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 524 million Frors are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken morass — prioritizes Welfare, with Education, Healthcare, and Administration also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Winter's Gate. The average income tax rate is 78.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Frorvikr economy, worth 3.52 trillion Runes 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 led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 6,724 Runes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Time flies when you're not having fun, pre-takeoff checks last longer than the flights themselves, the nation turns a blind eye to human rights abuses in its quest for athletic supremacy, and sea side cafes are required by law to close during summer. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Frorvik's national animal is the Raven, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Frorvik is ranked 99,159^th in the world and 122^nd in Refugia for Highest Drug Use, scoring 174.39 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
