The Socialist Federal Republic of Frencin is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Primer Glasontia with an iron fist, and notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, ubiquitous missile silos, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful population of 20.484 billion Frencins are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The enormous, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Towcester. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Frencinite economy, worth a remarkable 5,967 trillion Marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 291,341 Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Theories that hold water are considered to have failed, children who drop their ice cream are fined for littering, mosh pits are a common phenomenon in Primer Glasontia's political rallies, and riot police are stationed around paintings of violent protestors. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Frencin's national animal is the Frencinite Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Humanism.

Frencin is ranked 303,234^th in the world and 149^th in The Western Isles for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -15.21 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
