The Peerless Dominating Force of The Early French is a gargantuan, safe nation, notable for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The democratic population of 45.064 billion Early Frenchians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 65.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The enormous but inefficient Early Frenchian economy, worth a remarkable 1,360 trillion Parisian beads a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Trout Farming, Soda Sales, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 30,189 Parisian beads, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Early French's national animal is the spirit frog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Early French is ranked 1^st in the world and 1^st in United States for Most Corrupt Governments, with zero kickbacks per hour.
