The New Veronian Province of Frankencat is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Governer Alexander with a fair hand, and remarkable for its fear of technology, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, democratic, humorless, devout population of 1.116 billion Frankencatians 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, corrupt, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fort Romanus. The average income tax rate is 73.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Frankencatian economy, worth 129 trillion New Veronian Shillings 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, fairly diversified black market in Beef-Based Agriculture, Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. 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 impressive 115,715 New Veronian Shillings, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

They who do not work shall not eat, search-and-rescue organisations are the biggest employer in the country, broken suspension systems are giving auto repair shops plenty of business, and in distant lands the nation is known as a lovely place that was even better in the good old days. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Frankencat's national animal is the Gray Wolf, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Frankencat is ranked 233,227^th in the world and 182^nd in The League for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 30,201.74 Standard Monetary Units.
