“Viva le Frankia!”

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

The Federation of Leone Frankia is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by President Philippe Vermount with an even hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, ubiquitous missile silos, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 1.844 billion Franks 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 Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lyönefurt. The average income tax rate is 69.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Frankish economy, worth 256 trillion Frankish Marks a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 139,106 Frankish Marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Information Technology facilities are being turned into The Southern Leopard habitats, government agents stalk the aisles of grocery stores for out-of-stock medications, the government raises tariffs on a weekly basis, and a favorite "life hack" for gap year backpackers is to pretend to be homeless for government handouts. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Leone Frankia's national animal is the The Southern Leopard, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Secularism.

Leone Frankia is ranked 15,736^th in the world and 664^th in The North Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 320.55 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
