The United Socialist States of Frankensteins Guitar is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Einstein with an iron fist, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, avant-garde cinema, and aversion to nipples. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 18.988 billion Frankensteins Guitar Worshippers are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Frankensteins Guitar. The average income tax rate is 70.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Frankensteins Guitarian economy, worth a remarkable 4,214 trillion Franks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Retail, Woodchip Exports, Basket Weaving, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 221,965 Franks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The volume of paperwork used to complete a single environmental assessment defeats the purpose, government officials have to mortgage their homes to make ends meet, the hardest thing for a mining operation to dig through is government red tape, and colonial citizens are forced to sing the praise of the "Great Frankensteins Guitarian Liberator". Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Frankensteins Guitar's national animal is the Frankenstein, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Transhumanism.

Frankensteins Guitar is ranked 927^th in the world and 1^st in Novus Universalis for Most Primitive, scoring 265.4 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
