The Kingdom of France of The Moon States is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by King Charles X with an iron fist, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, zero percent divorce rate, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 23.929 billion Frenchmen are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Law & Order, Education, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Paris. The average income tax rate is 93.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient French economy, worth a remarkable 8,705 trillion Livres a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 363,821 Livres, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Military minds worry that 'the blue screen of death' on brand new operating systems may be a literal description, an online tea-bagging epidemic is getting worse and (meta)worse, pregnant hitchhikers with signs requesting rides to "competent care" are a common sight on French roads, and parents giddily refuse to pay their toddlers' medical bills. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Moon States's national animal is the Gallic Rooster, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Catholicism.

The Moon States is ranked 222,779th in the world and 23rd in Pax Britannia for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 24,739.88 Standard Monetary Units.
