Utopian Animal

F.R.O.M.'s national animal is the swan. The swan is very graceful and beautiful. Swans are often a symbol of love or fidelity, because of their long-lasting monogamist relationships. One Chinese idiom about swans is how "a toad wants to eat swan flesh!" This idiom is used derisively on men who desire women who are beyond their station in terms of wealth, social class or beauty. Swans also symbolize grace, balance, innocence, faithfulness, solitude, retreat, poetry, sincerity.

This all compares to our society. Women are graceful, faithful, and loving. Our society is full of long-lasting relationships, wealth, and balance. Every symbolism that a swan has, our country has every single one in ever citizen.
