The Republic of Anglo-Francios is a huge, cultured nation, renowned for its public floggings, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 212 million Anglo-Franciosians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 58.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Anglo-Franciosian economy, worth 13.4 trillion Euro-Pounds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 63,124 Euro-Pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

The roar of the Niagara 3000 mega-loo can be heard several blocks away, new pilots are regularly reminded that they are more expendable than their planes, being Leader has been voted one of the top ten most dangerous jobs, and AF-SPAN viewership drops as MPs act their age. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Anglo-Francios's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Anglo-Francios is ranked 33,397^th in the world and 482^nd in Europe for Most Beautiful Environments, with 779.73 Pounds Of Wildlife Per Square Mile.
