The Republic of Franklyn is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 453 million Franklynians enjoy frequent elections, which are uniformly corrupted by big-spending corporations buying politicians who best suit their interests.
The tiny, moralistic, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Spirituality. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.9%.
The very strong Franklynian economy, worth 28.8 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Gambling, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 63,558 dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 194,159 per year while the poor average 16,126, a ratio of 12.0 to 1.
Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Franklyn's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
Franklyn is ranked 167,863rd in the world and 143rd in Texas for Most Authoritarian, with 465.52 milliStalins.
