The Federation of Franschis is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Edward Frank with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, flagrant waste-dumping, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-working, democratic population of 2.241 billion Franschisians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Franch. The average income tax rate is 24.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Franschisian economy, worth 224 trillion Bitcoins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Book Publishing, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 100,018 Bitcoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Teenage male videogamers often suffer repetitive strain wrist injuries, doctors are trying to diagnose diseases by looking at their patients' Snipchat pictures, bemused citizens are encouraged to sing foreign-language hymns of religions they have never heard of, and group photos of the members of parliament are often mistaken for family reunions. Crime is totally unknown. Franschis's national animal is the Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Christian.

Franschis is ranked 44,966^th in the world and 153^rd in Europe for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 5,040.51 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
