The Forgettable Bowl of Frangipane is a huge, genial nation, ruled by Brigadier Blastus Sump with an even hand, and remarkable for its digital currency, state-planned economy, and zero percent divorce rate. The compassionate population of 861 million Frangipeeps are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Steve's Left Nostril. The average income tax rate is 74.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Frangipanean economy, worth 90.4 trillion Chegwins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 105,019 Chegwins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

APCs on school runs disgorge kids via assault ramps, there's nothing more gay than bleeding for your nation, search-and-rescue organisations are the biggest employer in the country, and soldiers who shoot themselves in the foot are regarded as heroes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Frangipane's national animal is the Snailbat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Frangipane is ranked 53,971st in the world and 327th in 10000 Islands for Highest Average Incomes, with 105,019.92 Standard Monetary Units.
