The Prosperous Fortress of Fragrancia is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by the Fragrancians with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, national health service, and smutty television. The compassionate population of 1.729 billion Fragrancians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Fragrant Fortress. The average income tax rate is 67.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Fragrancian economy, worth 206 trillion Bauhinia Shards a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 119,475 Bauhinia Shards, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Anything is permissible when wearing latex gloves, 50% of adverts on children's television are for clothes made of cotton wool, attempts to inform people about their unclaimed property are often mistaken for telephone scams, and the government is hoping that medical aid will speak louder than human rights abuses. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fragrancia's national animal is the Midnight ducky, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is D U C K.

Fragrancia is ranked 281,590^th in the world and 6,001^st in The North Pacific for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -12.25 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
