The Respublique of New Francy is a colossal, cultured nation, remarkable for its absence of drug laws. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 5.681 billion enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Welfare, and Social Equality. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kébek. The average income tax rate is 86%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Tourism industry, followed by Information Technology and Book Publishing.

CEOs and corporate executives are frequently found striking for better stock options, beavers are becoming popular in pet stores nationwide, schools have extensive counseling programs for troubled students, and a fashion designer has been arrested for inciting hatred after claiming redheads couldn't pull off vermillion. Crime is totally unknown. New Francy's national animal is the beaver, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the new francy piasse.

New Francy is ranked 18th in Quebec and 81,712th in the world for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring -27 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
