The City of Framingham is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Santa with an even hand, and renowned for its frequent executions, pith helmet sales, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 20.452 billion US Citizens are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Framingham. The average income tax rate is 19.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Framinghamian economy, worth a remarkable 3,165 trillion Gold Coins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Uranium Mining, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 154,792 Gold Coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Beating enemies to death with a baseball bat is legal if done within nine innings, 'Abstinence Makes The Heart Grow Fonder' is a common school motto, in pet stores nationwide Cows are growing in popularity, and the government has strong opinions about what goes into your bodily orifices. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Framingham's national animal is the Cow, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Yodlism.

Framingham is ranked 309,566th in the world and 6th in Massachusetts for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring -15.49 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
