The Federal Republic of Fran Advar is a massive, safe nation, ruled by President Joe Varegnas with an even hand, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, frequent executions, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, devout population of 2.071 billion Fran Advarians 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 large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Port Bynald. The average income tax rate is 81.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Fran Advarian economy, worth 241 trillion deniers a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 116,558 deniers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It's not only teenagers who mess around with fake IDs, Fran Advarians have become death, the destroyer of worlds, rural Fran Advarians stare in awe at the bright lights of the big cities, and recent events have left citizens both shaken and stirred. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fran Advar's national animal is the dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Fran Advar is ranked 85,744^th in the world and 3,354^th in The North Pacific for Highest Wealthy Incomes, with 140,501 Standard Monetary Units.
