The Bicycle Built For Two of Frank Poole is a gargantuan, efficient nation, notable for its unlimited-speed roads, zero percent divorce rate, and prohibition of alcohol. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 30.224 billion Frank Pooleans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 46.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Frank Poolean economy, worth a remarkable 2,625 trillion nones a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Retail, and Automobile Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 86,859 nones, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

All beauty contests have been banned, children usually cry on their first day of school, cities in Frank Poole declare independence based on interpretation of the historic meaning of cave paintings, and the sun rises an hour later on border communities. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Frank Poole's national animal is the none, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Frank Poole is ranked 202,194^th in the world and 2^nd in Milky Way Galaxy for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -1.18 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
