The Republic of France Europe is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by President Paul Théraneau with a fair hand, and notable for its complete lack of prisons, keen interest in outer space, and national health service. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 8.422 billion French enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Paris. The average income tax rate is 74.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient French economy, worth a remarkable 1,053 trillion Euros a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 125,118 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government has spent days debating the merits of a petition calling for a ban on sporks, stores employing more than 100 employees are required to be at least twenty miles from any competitor, what goes down must come up, and stolen Reuben sandwiches are met with detailed and thorough police investigations. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. France Europe's national animal is the Gallic Rooster, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

France Europe is ranked 14,408^th in the world and 3^rd in Liberty Democratic Alliance for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 8,400.3 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
