The Technocratic Empire of Friaritat is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Empress Arachne II of Icesteel with an iron fist, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, pith helmet sales, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 15.463 billion Friaritans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Iskaldhule. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Friaritan economy, worth a remarkable 4,118 trillion Rives a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 266,318 Rives, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Empress Arachne II of Icesteel signs the laws but abides by none of them, the free market's hand is quite visible, there's a literal nanny state for the legions of children taken by social services, and the importance of winning Olympic gold medals is indoctrinated from an early age. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Friaritat's national animal is the Lethian whale, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Secular.

Friaritat is ranked 2,123^rd in the world and 3^rd in The Great Monarchical Nations for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 12,660.45 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
