The Confederacy of Stanvrin is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Froggus with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 1.79 billion Stanvrinians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
