The National Workers State of Franco-Germanic Realm is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Maximilien Faucher with an iron fist, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, parental licensing program, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 2.696 billion Francais Allemandians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Paris. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 50.3%.

The powerhouse Franco-Germanic economy, worth 257 trillion Francmarks a year, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Woodchip Exports, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 95,579 Francmarks, with the richest citizens earning 5.4 times as much as the poorest.

Many in Franco-Germanic Realm are born in the purple, marketing departments of corporate giants compete to sponsor little league teams, the government's suicide hotline now redirects callers to local tax lawyers, and judicial torture is outsourced overseas. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Franco-Germanic Realm's national animal is the Gallic Rooster, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Catholic Church.

Franco-Germanic Realm is ranked 58,914^th in the world and 279^th in Europe for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 3,860.5 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
