The Republic of Syndicalist Commune of France is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 260 million Syndicalist Commune of Franceans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 66.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Syndicalist Commune of Francean economy, worth 12.4 trillion Francs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 47,713 Francs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Concert halls sport signs proclaiming "No Shorts, Sandals or Swastikas", the "feminist protest" defence is increasingly common for cases of armed robbery, new pilots are regularly reminded that they are more expendable than their planes, and billions of Francs are being blown on orbital weapons development. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Syndicalist Commune of France's national animal is the Coq Gaulois, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.
