The Advanced Tech Nation of Franconia Empire is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Empress Xemptoworth with a fair hand, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, daily referendums, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 6.434 billion Franconians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, outspoken government prioritizes Education, although Environment, Industry, and Healthcare are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of San Juarez. The average income tax rate is 89.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Franconia Empirean economy, worth 835 trillion UCB Credits a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 129,813 UCB Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A popular saying is "a chicken for every pot and an abortion clinic on every street", the nation's interest in space is at an all-time high while interest in saving the planet is at an all-time low, student athletes gaze forlornly at abandoned Lionball fields, and elementary school students are required to master Bach's Chaconne in D before graduation. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Franconia Empire's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Menonite Bretheren Christianity.

Franconia Empire is ranked 7,293^rd in the world and 6^th in Selene for Safest, scoring 123.96 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
