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 keen interest in outer space, unlimited-speed roads, and anti-smoking policies. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 13.157 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 prioritizes Education, with Environment, Healthcare, and Industry also on the agenda, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of San Juarez. The average income tax rate is 93.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Franconia Empirean economy, worth a remarkable 1,799 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 136,763 Astrons, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Television characters who ask how someone's doing are charged with harassment, the number of students attending university has reached a record high, families waiting for delayed pipe installations hope daily for rain, and children are sent to either religious or secular schools. 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 4,312^th in the world and 3^rd in Selene for Most Developed, scoring 94.78 on the Human Development Index.
