The Republic of Fragrant is a colossal, safe nation, renowned for its avant-garde cinema, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 3.857 billion Fragrantians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 61.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Fragrantian economy, worth 272 trillion lire a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 70,778 lire, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It turns out that trees grow on lire, the media have begun calling the government treasury "Leader's stash", requests for government aid can be forwarded to the beach, and most believe it doesn't hurt to embrace free trade. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fragrant's national animal is the sheep, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Fragrant is ranked 14,514th in the world and 8th in Daylight Savings for Safest, scoring 116.2 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
