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.

Geography
Frogan's diverse environment can be described as barren, but it is barren in a beautiful way. Soft, rolling hills cover the outer rim of Frogan while majestic, but short mountains cut through the center of the Avalon Peninsula. A small desert, the Kalimari Desert, is located southwest of the Whitepeak Mountains. Frogan's cliamte is generally mediterranean, but snow is common in the winter, particularly in the mountains.
Remains of World War V can be found in the Kalimari Desert. Radiation is not a problem, but radioactivity levels are higher than average in the desert. Fuel leaks from World War V can be found in southern Frogan and Isle Delfino.

People
Frogan is currently the home to four different species: the Frogshi, the Yoshi, the Koopa, and the human. These species live in unity, and racial tension is rather low. The Frogshi currently dominates the Frogan population, but population is virutally equal for all four species.
The Frogshi are descendants of the Hypello, a frog-like race whose origins trace back to Spira Island. The Hypellos' genetic profile was altered after the meteor impact in 0 A.I, and thus, the Frogshi race began. Frogshies have above-average life spans and jumping capabilities, making them perfect for sports such as basketball, soccer, and tennis.
The Yoshi are also descendants of the Hypello, but they have a more dinosaur-like appearance. Their origin is Yoshi's Island. The Yoshi species were able to survive the meteor impact without much alteration to their genetic profile. Yoshies are athletic like their cousin, the Frogshi.
The Koopa is a turtle-like species who originates in central Frogan. Koopas have detachable shells that are usually left at home to store valuables. Koopas have impeccable jumping abilities, and in history, Koopas had the ability to fly. This ability reached an end after the meteor incident.
Humans in Frogan originate from Spira Island. In history, the humans lived with the three other Frogan species in the cities of Zanarkand and Bevelle. However, war and the meteor shower brought an end to both civilizations. The species was relatively unchanged after the meteor impact.

Transportation
Frogan has an exceptionally high-tech transportation system. A government project in 1999 brought billions of dollars worth of upgrades to Frogan's transportation system. Digital road signs, glass tunnels, long-lasting pavement, and stunning landscape designs enhances Frogan's roadway system. Street racing was legalized in 2001. The Parliament is currently extending the transportation project into Frogan's railway and waterway system.
Traffic is a major problem in Frogan, especially in urban areas such as Frogo and Kevtropolis. 75% of Frogo's expressways have "elevated additions," an elevated expressway built on top of another expressway to ease traffic. However, this concept worsened traffic conditions. Kevtropolis' mayor released a plan in 2003 to encourage the use of public transportation, specifically its new high-tech monorail system. The plan backfired, and now both roadway and railway traffic have become worse in Kevtropolis.
