The Republic of French Ramia is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Terjé with a fair hand, and remarkable for its suspicion of poets and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-working, democratic population of 2.333 billion French Ramians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Healthcare, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Paris City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 10.6%.

The strong French Ramian economy, worth 111 trillion Ramian Francs a year, is led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Book Publishing, and Tourism. Average income is 47,847 Ramian Francs, with the richest citizens earning 5.5 times as much as the poorest.

Fifty years of pension funds can disappear in half a second, the police have taken to prying guns out of the cold fingers of French Ramians, the government has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one, and cyber-crime and tin-foil hat sales are both increasing at record rates. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. French Ramia's national animal is the Lion.

French Ramia is ranked 67,059^th in the world and 2,955^th in Balder for Nicest Citizens, with 15.51 average smiles per day.
