The Free Land of Frankino is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 117 million Frankinoans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 50.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Frankinoan economy, worth 5.04 trillion Frankinetas 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 a slick, highly efficient black market in Automobile Manufacturing, Book Publishing, 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 43,046 Frankinetas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government officially wants you to slow down and speak more clearly, feuilletons can only be deciphered with a Galliennais dictionary, economic planning is exalted as a human art form, and a government program is underway to revitalize Frankino's beaches. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Frankino's national animal is the Lynx, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Frankino is ranked 73,129^th in the world and 1,282^nd in The East Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 2,954.9 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
