The Theocracy of Fransmany is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by King Francis III and Patriarch John VII with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, fear of technology, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 19.263 billion Fransmainians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Habsburg-Lorraine. The average income tax rate is 96.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Fransmainian economy, worth a remarkable 2,578 trillion Heldings a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector is mostly comprised of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 133,847 Heldings, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

RPG fans reminisce fondly about when people thought they were evil and dangerous rather than geeky and socially inept, votes of no confidence regularly remove unwanted MPs, abattoirs are struggling with the directive to 'wait until the animal dies of a ripe old age', and the nation grinds to a halt for afternoon tea. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fransmany's national animal is the Pigeon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Fransmainian Catholicism.

Fransmany is ranked 332,390^th in the world and 578^th in Sophia for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -39.27 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
