The Liberalist Paradise of Francoguese is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Johnathan Hayes with an even hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, enslaved workforce, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 1.263 billion francogueseans 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Paris. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 48.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Francoguesean economy, worth 156 trillion Francs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Book Publishing, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 123,835 Francs, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 680,177 per year while the poor average 11,459, a ratio of 59.4 to 1.

Politicians and casino owners who so much as wander into the same room are arrested on the spot, the government makes bereaved siblings into bereaved orphans, factories place endangered birds in their rafters in pursuit of government protections, and political visitors are forced to stop ten paces from Johnathan Hayes's throne. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Francoguese's national animal is the Gallic Rooster, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Christianity.

Francoguese is ranked 44,486^th in the world and 475^th in Europe for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 4,317.73 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
