Location: the West Pacific

Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Democratic Republic of North Franklin is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by King William I with a fair hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 2.012 billion hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Royal City. The average income tax rate is 62%. A robust private sector is led by the Uranium Mining industry, followed by Book Publishing and Retail.

Retirement homes are often fitted with luxurious suites, the tenet of free speech is held dear, it is illegal for police officers to carry out searches due to strict privacy laws, and voting is voluntary. Crime is totally unknown. North Franklin's national animal is the Mockingbird, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Dollar.

North Franklin is ranked 4,525th in the West Pacific and 114,988th in the world for Stupidest Citizens, scoring 8 on the Average Edu-UNtellignce® Test Score.
