The Free Land of Frankino is a very large, cultured nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 117 million Frankinoans 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 large, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 51.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Frankinoan economy, worth 4.83 trillion Frankinetas 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 black market in Automobile Manufacturing, Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Uranium Mining. 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 41,287 Frankinetas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens may cast their vote over the internet or phone, smoking is banned in public areas, children have taken to using semaphore in light of the recent mobile phone ban, and mining safety laws are often more expensive than what's being mined. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Frankino's national animal is the Lynx, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Frankino is ranked 73,757^th in the world and 1,297^th in The East Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 2,922.42 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
