The United States of Neo Franchia is a mid-sized, genial nation, remarkable for its frequent executions and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 98 million Neo Franchians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The tiny, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 9.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Neo Franchian economy, worth 7.59 trillion Franchian Crowns a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Trout Farming, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 77,461 Franchian Crowns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

The government is hoping that medical aid will speak louder than human rights abuses, interviewees for teaching jobs are waterboarded to "reveal undesirable histories", pareidolic SETI scientists swear there's a message from aliens hidden within pi, and highly paid government contractors are found coughing up furballs in alleyways. Crime is totally unknown. Neo Franchia's national animal is the Bnnuy, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Neo Franchia is ranked 50,863^rd in the world and 1,237^th in The North Pacific for Safest, scoring 102.81 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
