The State of Frylore is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by the Governor with a fair hand, and notable for its complete lack of public education and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 25.311 billion Fryloreans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The minute, liberal, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.4%.

The powerhouse Frylorean economy, worth a remarkable 1,406 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Furniture Restoration, and Trout Farming. Average income is 55,551 betales, with the richest citizens earning 6.5 times as much as the poorest.

Rupert Bear is considered to be the most risqué TV programme in Frylore, citizens recently voted in favour of declaring bubblewrap an 'abomination of nature', retirement homes are often fitted with luxurious suites, and The Governor has just been declared ruler of Frylore in an international press conference. Crime is a serious problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Frylore's national animal is the deer, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Frylore is ranked 261,470^th in the world and 471^st in Ancient Lands for Lowest Crime Rates, with 44.98 law-abiding acts per hour.
