The Free Land of Frigidopia is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by President Maynard with an even hand, and notable for its state-planned economy, daily referendums, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 30.812 billion Frigidopians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The relatively small, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Esperanza. The average income tax rate is 9.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Frigidopian economy, worth a remarkable 7,502 trillion Antarctic Pounds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is an amazing 243,480 Antarctic Pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government confiscates candy from babies for 'the greater good' of the nation, grinding bureaucracy has the international wheels of justice turning slowly, crowds of flag-burning protesters tend to accidentally become crowds of burning protesters, and President Maynard's used car is held together by bumper stickers that support the opposition. Crime is totally unknown. Frigidopia's national animal is the Brown Skua, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Frigidopia is ranked 308,988^th in the world and 6^th in Antarctic for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -30.47 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
