The Republic of Frownin is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, otherworldly petting zoo, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 8.177 billion Frowninians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The tiny, corrupt, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 3.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Frowninian economy, worth a remarkable 3,326 trillion currencies a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Gambling, and Soda Sales. Average income is an amazing 406,822 currencies, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 3,759,176 per year while the poor average 4,317, a ratio of 870 to 1.

The deaf are perplexed when the weather report tells them that the wind will be "bringing some rain along the Nazi ghosts", the fattest folk in Frownin look to be the happiest ones, cheese has become the new icon of political dissent, and the government is known to care more about its buildings than its people. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Frownin's national animal is the animal, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Frownin is ranked 63,590th in the world and 24th in Vickenian experiment incubator for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 4,166.86 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
