The Socialist Republic of Frankias is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Council with a fair hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, deadly medical pandemics, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 1.967 billion Franks hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, corrupt, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Orleans. The average income tax rate is 19.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Frankish economy, worth 246 trillion Utopiques a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 125,489 Utopiques, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Colonists who were promised new lands find only war-torn devastation, census workers struggle to account for the rapidly increasing number of citizens to tabulate, Golden Eagle is one of the most popular forenames in Frankias, and children are often observed making 'sand angels' in bunkers. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Frankias's national animal is the Golden Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Atheism.

Frankias is ranked 224,167^th in the world and 322^nd in Refugia for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring -5.48 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
