The Vth French Republic of Metropolitan Francais is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Georges Pompidou with an even hand, and renowned for its punitive income tax rates and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic population of 8.54 billion Franciscans enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, liberal morass — is primarily concerned with Healthcare, although Education, Environment, and Welfare are also considered important, while Public Transport and Spirituality receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Paris. The average income tax rate is 71.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Metropolitan Francaisian economy, worth 339 trillion French francs a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 39,791 French francs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Jennifer Government is a bestseller, political gridlock ensues as even the most innocuous legislation is vetoed by the Supreme Court for potential civil rights violations, the government response to disaster victims starving for bread is "let them eat stale cake", and sofas are perpetually on sales that Must End Soon. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Metropolitan Francais's national animal is the Gallic Rooster, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Metropolitan Francais is ranked 264,843^rd in the world and 312^th in Commonwealth of Liberty for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 11,221.22 Standard Monetary Units.
