The Range in Front of The Front Range is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Joseph Robinette Joestar Jr with an iron fist, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, deadly medical pandemics, and otherworldly petting zoo. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 4.212 billion Front Rangers are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The tiny, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Camp 1. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 2.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Front Ranger economy, worth 951 trillion metal scraps a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Gambling. Average income is an amazing 225,801 metal scraps, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,701,142 per year while the poor average 8,537, a ratio of 199 to 1.

The government response to disaster victims starving for bread is "let them eat stale cake", corporations claim the third ounce of any metal traded in a wicker-cone on the Sunday of a full moon as a charitable expense, the most ambitious parents buy a dozen lottery scratch-cards each week for their kids, and healthcare funding has been cut. Crime is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. The Front Range's national animal is the giant tick, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is The Cult of Personality.

The Front Range is ranked 287,674^th in the world and 5,420^th in the South Pacific for Highest Food Quality, scoring 4.27 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
