The Kingdom of Friskalandia is a huge, orderly nation, renowned for its smutty television, ubiquitous missile silos, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 606 million friskanians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lassania. The average income tax rate is 12.5%.
The all-consuming friskanian economy, worth 58.9 trillion Tofins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Trout Farming, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 97,230 Tofins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.
The volume of paperwork used to complete a single environmental assessment defeats the purpose, strip mining of rare earth metals is up while back problems are down, ports have ground to a halt as no boat can reach them without trespassing, and shady doctors seem to have impeccable records. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Friskalandia's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Friskalandia is ranked 8,788th in the world and 3rd in Thegye for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 85,076.83 Standard Monetary Units.
