The Constitutional Monarchy of Franchya is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by André Blanc with a fair hand, and renowned for its smutty television, keen interest in outer space, and pith helmet sales. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.655 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 284 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 262,180^th in the world and 1,212^th in Europe for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -8.36 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
