The Constitutional Monarchy of Franchya is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by André Blanc with a fair hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, pith helmet sales, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.649 billion Franches hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lyon. The average income tax rate is 52.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Franchyan economy, worth 283 trillion Euros a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 107,059 Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

In life full of care there is no time to stop and stare, bitter pastors forced to officiate gay marriage 'accidentally' pronounce couples "husband and abomination", government officials sit helplessly as they are labelled 'Pompous Womples' by celebrities, and the environment is gorgeous so long as you're looking up. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Franchya's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Franchya is ranked 60,657^th in the world and 685^th in Europe for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 3,626.76 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
