The Federal Republic of Fran Advar is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by President Issac Carey with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and compulsory military service. The compassionate, devout population of 10.078 billion Fran Advarians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Healthcare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Port Bynald. The average income tax rate is 94.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Fran Advarian economy, worth a remarkable 1,352 trillion deniers a year, is highly specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 134,222 deniers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

The law says it's okay to sell a bomb to a terrorist so long as they promise not to detonate it, dancing with your first cousin is a misdemeanor, old people living in plastic bubbles complain about a new type of social isolation, and the military maintains a fierce arsenal of 'Cure Missiles'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fran Advar's national animal is the dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Fran Advar is ranked 147,093^rd in the world and 2,602^nd in The North Pacific for Most Authoritarian, with 719.71 milliStalins.
