The Socialist Federal Republic of Frencin is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Primer Glasontia with an even hand, and remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, pith helmet sales, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cheerful population of 8.558 billion Frencins 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, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Towcester. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Frencinite economy, worth a remarkable 2,058 trillion Marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 240,563 Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The "fire department" is often called to remove offensive religious texts, the police strictly enforce off-limit zones for tourists, the government is pouring money into 'Operation Enduring Democracy', and there's an aura of pseudoscience around academia. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Frencin's national animal is the Frencinite Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Humanism.

Frencin is ranked 150,048^th in the world and 120^th in The Western Isles for Largest Black Market, with 132 billion Standard Monetary Units.
