The Napoleonic Empire of First French Empire 2 is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Napoleon Ist with an iron fist, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, ubiquitous missile silos, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical population of 1.471 billion French are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Paris. The average income tax rate is 59.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The French economy, worth 86.6 trillion franc germinals a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Basket Weaving, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 58,884 franc germinals, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

One does not simply walk into the tundra, the government has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one, almost half of the child population live rough on the streets, and the military refers to helpless combatants offering surrender as "sitting ducks". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. First French Empire 2's national animal is the imperial eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Catholic O Protestantism O Judaism.

First French Empire 2 is ranked 31,563^rd in the world and 103^rd in Horizon for Nicest Citizens, with 19.85 average smiles per day.
