The Bonapartist Empire of The Great French State is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Emperor Napoléon IX with an even hand, and renowned for its frequent executions, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 12.355 billion Frenches 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 enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Paris. The average income tax rate is 69.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The French economy, worth 562 trillion Francs a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 45,501 Francs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government tries to improve relations with hostile countries by sending gift baskets, the nation grinds to a halt for afternoon tea, Members of Parliament operate under a PAYE scheme, and cash-strapped junkies lick rabbits for a cheap high. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Great French State's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Christianity.

The Great French State is ranked 22,112^th in the world and 1^st in Union of Liberal Nations for Nicest Citizens, with 21.52 average smiles per day.
