The Republic of French Rooster is a massive, efficient nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion and suspicion of poets. The hard-working, democratic population of 1.505 billion French Roosterians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The relatively small, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.0%.

The thriving French Roosterian economy, worth 75.4 trillion francs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Cheese Exports, and Book Publishing. Average income is 50,107 francs, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 177,364 per year while the poor average 10,220, a ratio of 17.4 to 1.

Graffiti artists spend lengthy periods of time in jail, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, Harry Potter books are banned, and a National Academy regulates grammar and usage. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. French Rooster's national animal is the French Rooster, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

French Rooster is ranked 221,791^st in the world and 1^st in Frenchia for Largest Populations, with 1.50 billion capita.
