The Republic of Fraince is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Gallois Legion with an even hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed population of 3.754 billion Frenchs 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 Education, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Paris. The average income tax rate is 70.6%.

The frighteningly efficient French economy, worth 485 trillion Francs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 129,347 Francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Snowball fights inaugurate summer breaks, foreign ambassadors closely guard their culinary secrets, college students make ends meet by selling their kidneys, and the government response to disaster victims starving for bread is "let them eat stale cake". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fraince's national animal is the Gallic Rooster, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Catholic.

Fraince is ranked 274,137^th in the world and 106^th in Norrsken for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 25.77 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
