The Commonwealth of The French and Polish is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by François Kowlowski with an even hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, unlimited-speed roads, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, devout population of 2.648 billion French and Polishians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fopish. The average income tax rate is 41.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming French and Polishian economy, worth 288 trillion Zloties 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 Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, Information Technology, and Cheese Exports. 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 108,791 Zloties, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Old fossils give the tours at the parliamentary museum, chrome-clad space marines are such stuff that dreams are made on, same-sex marriages are increasingly common, and farmers in arid regions are puzzled with government directions to plant rice this year. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The French and Polish's national animal is the Beaver, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The French and Polish is ranked 31,086^th in the world and 1,924^th in Balder for Most Corrupt Governments, with 69.76 kickbacks per hour.
