The Republic of Francanada is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by Estrella Arthron with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, free-roaming dinosaurs, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 5.9 billion Francanadans 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 enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nilitrenna. The average income tax rate is 97.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Francanadan economy, worth a remarkable 1,002 trillion Francs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 169,937 Francs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government guarantees extra-soft tissues to fire-snorting elephants, the right to counsel goes both ways, the thrash metal version of the national anthem is topping charts, and people with dyslexia are told to tough through it. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Francanada's national animal is the Pig, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Humanist Atheism.

Francanada is ranked 18,191^st in the world and 15^th in The Frontier Sea for Highest Average Incomes, with 169,937.24 Standard Monetary Units.
