The Nomadic Peoples of Froppill is a mammoth, orderly nation, ruled by Aristoadle Von Ribbit IV with an iron fist, and notable for its public floggings, complete lack of prisons, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 8.377 billion Froppillians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Froppolis. The average income tax rate is 83.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Froppillian economy, worth 806 trillion Fropas a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 96,301 Fropas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Comatose jurors are the defense's favorite, endangered bison are herded across the border to prevent them from trampling on native prairie grass, the military has declared that 'a woman's place is in the mess hall', and acupuncture is routinely prescribed for intravenous drug addicts. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Froppill's national animal is the Taddepol, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Froppill is ranked 46,964^th in the world and 537^th in The East Pacific for Most Developed, scoring 78.05 on the Human Development Index.
