The Sublime Fortress of Fragrancia is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by the Fragrancians with an even hand, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, rampant corporate plagiarism, and otherworldly petting zoo. The compassionate population of 1.799 billion Fragrancians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

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 68.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Fragrancian economy, worth 219 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 122,218 Bauhinia Shards, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

What goes down must come up, much of Fragrancia's computer network is controlled by a rampant artificial intelligence, nuclear physics is the most popular course at university, and children crying over dropped ice creams are offered high doses of experimental antidepressants. 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 24,153^rd in the world and 933^rd in The North Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 251.3 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
