From NSwiki, the NationStates encyclopedia.
Frogan, officially the Constitutional Monarchy of Frogan, is a country in the region of Yvonne. It comprises of Avalon Peninsula, Spira Island, and the Great Southern Bay. The nation has a global presence as a center of culture, economics, the upper-middle class, and high education.
The written history of Frogan begins in 5000 P.I. However, Frogan was originally a product of two mega-nations: Fronada and Polo. These two nations merged in hopes of recovering from the Great Continental Depression.
Frogan's large government is a unitary constituional monarchy with a king and a parliament (called the Royal Frogan Parliament). Parliament members are appointed by the king and approved by the public. The nation's current leader, King Alec Frogman VII smoothly runs Frogan with Prime Minister Kevin Conway Hwang.
