The Kingdom of Fransavoie is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its public floggings, free-roaming dinosaurs, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, democratic population of 581 million Fransavoieans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Parisery. The average income tax rate is 67.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Fransavoiean economy, worth 50.6 trillion Francs a year, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 87,069 Francs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

One tree's worth of paperwork accompanies each imported log of timber, the world still seems flat to some people in space, the military will start wars with other nations on a lark, and economists have been named Invertebrates of the Year. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fransavoie's national animal is the griffin, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Fransavoie is ranked 22,621^st in the world and 26^th in Sparkalia for Safest, scoring 112.55 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
