The Democratic Republic of FrAustralia is a gargantuan, economically powerful nation, remarkable for its anti-smoking policies. Its hard-nosed population of 15.321 billion have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defence. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Canberra. The average income tax rate is 63%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Tourism industry, followed by Beef-Based Agriculture and Retail.

All telephone traffic is monitored for 'national security reasons', the government has adopted a "Lightning Never Strikes Twice" approach to dealing with natural disasters, hundreds of thousands of convicts work as slaves in FrAustralia's many privately-owned prisons, and high-income earners pay a 100% tax rate. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. FrAustralia's national animal is the kangaroo, which is also the nation's favorite main course, its national religion is Christianity, and its currency is the Dollar.

FrAustralia is ranked 60th in Australia and 118,301st in the world for Stupidest Citizens, scoring 7 on the Average Edu-UNtellignce® Test Score.
