The Free Land of Frankino is a very large, cultured nation, notable for its punitive income tax rates, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 178 million Frankinoans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 57.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Frankinoan economy, worth 7.43 trillion Frankinetas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Tourism. Average income is 41,716 Frankinetas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

There has been a series of riots between local cannibals and health food advocates, newly synthesized elements' half-lives are a million times shorter than the time it takes to say their names, drug deals return to the streets as legions of undercover officers stalk the dark web, and children are brainwashed at a young age to accept "love and peace!" as a way of life. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Frankino's national animal is the Lynx, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Frankino is ranked 14,068^th in the world and 385^th in The East Pacific for Safest, scoring 117.2 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
