The Mandate of France Nord is a gargantuan, safe nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service. The hard-working, democratic population of 12.477 billion France Nordians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Paris and London. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 10.3%.

The strong France Nordian economy, worth 737 trillion Francs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Pizza Delivery, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 59,097 Francs, with the richest citizens earning 5.9 times as much as the poorest.

The tenet of free speech is held dear, a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, fake designer clothes are shredded and burnt while many in the world don't have a shirt on their back, and France Nord has designated Paris and London as its capital city. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent. France Nord's national animal is the Cockerel, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

France Nord is ranked 247,912^th in the world and 20^th in France for Most Corrupt Governments, with 0.76 kickbacks per hour.
