The Republic of Frabe is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its ban on automobiles, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 450 million Frabeans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 40.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Frabean economy, worth 18.2 trillion Farbs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Information Technology, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 40,485 Farbs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Anything is permissible when wearing latex gloves, giant no-kill traps baited with Bapst Red Ribbon and vintage bicycles have been popping up in back alleys nationwide, the practice of capital punishment proves divisive, and every school is receiving a brand new eraser. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Frabe's national animal is the Antlion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Frabe is ranked 148,054^th in the world and 909^th in 10000 Islands for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 5,418.65 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
