The Kingdom of Le Frasco is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Alexandre Vernier with an iron fist, and notable for its public floggings, ubiquitous missile silos, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 2.599 billion Le Frascoans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alexandre City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 78.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Le Frascoan economy, worth 407 trillion alturs 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, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. 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 an impressive 156,598 alturs, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 516,082 per year while the poor average 35,578, a ratio of 14.5 to 1.

Water fights now end with thousands dead, not showing enough enthusiasm for mutual assured destruction is a court-martial offence, convicted conmen and fraudsters often leave prison to enter a career in politics, and pedants defending Alexandre Vernier observe that psychopaths and sociopaths aren't exactly the same thing. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Le Frasco's national animal is the ant and its national religion is Alexandrism.

Le Frasco is ranked 295,726th in the world and 10,315th in Balder for Most Stationary, with 1.12474233572 days.
