The Most Serene Republic of Frodo is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its anti-smoking policies, fear of technology, and irreverence towards religion. The quiet, industrious population of 6.15 billion Frodoans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social and economic equality; they tend to view other countries as corrupted by the hollow pageantry of sham elections.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Public Transport. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hobbiton. The average income tax rate is 66.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but sluggish Frodoan economy, worth 116 trillion coins a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Basket Weaving, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 18,952 coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It is illegal for police officers to carry out searches due to strict privacy laws, truck drivers turn their engines off and coast whenever they're going downhill, the people of Frodo are renowned for their nihilistic attitudes, and the Finance Ministry posts hourly updates on where taxpayer money is spent. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Frodo's national animal is the sheep, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is none.

Frodo is ranked 189,787^th in the world and 25^th in Middle Earth for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 583.63 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
