The Federal Republic of Frankerna is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its daily referendums, fear of technology, and smutty television. The compassionate population of 326 million Frankernians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Healthcare, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 35.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Frankernian economy, worth 20.9 trillion Frank Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Book Publishing, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 64,159 Frank Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Elderly prisoners with severe dementia are reminded hourly that they are evil people by helpful nurse-wardens, all roads lead to Frankerna City, the Frankernian football team for the Maxxmas ceasefire consists only of Intelligence Corps personnel, and mystics are claiming that a simultaneous rise in scepticism and education budgets is correlation rather than causation. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Frankerna's national animal is the Raven, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Frankerna is ranked 2,421^st in the world and 1^st in Wintreath for Most Primitive, scoring 168.01 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
