The Frenchitude of French-Stewart is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, absence of drug laws, and punitive income tax rates. The democratic population of 41.357 billion French-Stewartians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, liberal morass — juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 70.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The enormous but inefficient French-Stewartian economy, worth a remarkable 1,214 trillion rocks 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, highly specialized black market in Woodchip Exports, Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Soda Sales. 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 29,354 rocks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. French-Stewart's national animal is the boa, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

French-Stewart is ranked 105,132^nd in the world and 28^th in United States for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 50 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
