The Free Folk of Lower Frostfangs is a titanic, orderly nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, state-planned economy, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 11.27 billion Free Folk are ruled with an iron fist by the socialist government, which grants its people the freedom to do whatever they like so long as it doesn't involve getting richer than anybody else or challenging the government.
The medium-sized, liberal, socially-minded government prioritizes Defense, with Education, Spirituality, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while International Aid is ignored. The average income tax rate is 44.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The large but stagnant Lower Frostfangs economy, worth 254 trillion furs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, Pizza Delivery, and Arms Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 22,539 furs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Citizens are enjoying a recent large cut in taxes, only the fast and the furious are brave enough to drive, and children usually cry on their first day of school. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lower Frostfangs's national animal is the giant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Lower Frostfangs is ranked 133,853rd in the world and 1,484th in eta for Most Cultured, scoring 64 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
