The Democratic Peoples Republic of Franconia Empire is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Empress Xemptoworth and the GFed with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, unlimited-speed roads, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 12.474 billion Franconians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of San Juarez. The average income tax rate is 93.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Franconia Empirean economy, worth a remarkable 1,701 trillion Astrons a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 136,393 Astrons, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

'To Regulate And Beyond' is the unofficial motto of the Franconia Empirean Space Agency, there are no more heroes any more, the nation's universities are often mistaken for foreign embassies, and the FEBI Channel Tunnel project is plagued by delays. 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 Morpentine Snake of Jovinia, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Menonite Bretheren Christianity.

Franconia Empire is ranked 2,759^th in the world and 2^nd in Selene for Most Advanced Public Transport, scoring 5,806.4 on the Societal Mobility Rating.
