The City of Framingham is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Santa with an iron fist, and renowned for its deadly medical pandemics, frequent executions, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 15.182 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 19.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Framinghamian economy, worth a remarkable 2,363 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 155,707 Gold Coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It is believed that belligerence is a passing phase foreign leaders will soon outgrow, fruit vendors are encouraging a life of crime in their advertising, pedants defending Santa observe that psychopaths and sociopaths aren't exactly the same thing, and Santa believes shadows are part of the Illuminati. 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 88,644th in the world and 14th in Massachusetts for Most Stationary, with 514.43208048548 days.
