The Return of The Frankish is a gargantuan, orderly nation, notable for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 24.146 billion Frankishians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Spirituality, and Education. The average income tax rate is 76.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Frankishian economy, worth 100 trillion Franks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Arms Manufacturing, and Trout Farming. Average income is 4,177 Franks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, children are regularly married to each other to secure business deals between families, a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, and a dictator has seized power and outlawed elections. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Frankish's national animal is the bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianty.

The Frankish is ranked 66,730^th in the world and 1^st in The Kuiper Belt for Lowest Crime Rates, with 70.58 law-abiding acts per hour.
