Overview • Factbook • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Socialist Federal Republic of Frencin is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Primer Glasontia with an even hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, sprawling nuclear power plants, and smutty television. The compassionate, cheerful population of 11.756 billion Frencins are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous 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 3,077 trillion Marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 261,776 Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Billions of Marks are being blown on orbital weapons development, vital intelligence-gathering activities are put on hold as agents return home for seduction training and advanced poker instruction, citizens sell their moldy bread as homemade penicillin, and government workers are more efficient and more unhappy than ever. 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 1,221^st in the world and 6^th in The Western Isles for Smartest Citizens, with 217.92 quips per hour.
