The Prosperous Fortress of Fragrancia is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by the Fragrancians with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, parental licensing program, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 1.718 billion Fragrancians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Fragrant Fortress. The average income tax rate is 66.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Fragrancian economy, worth 203 trillion Bauhinia Shards a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 118,687 Bauhinia Shards, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Thomas the Spank Engine is the most popular and controversial children's show in the nation, droves of former desperados are applying to join the border police, badminton was recently banned due to 'unacceptable violence' inherent to the game, and withdrawal of support for drug addicts is leaving many with cold sweats. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fragrancia's national animal is the Midnight ducky, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is D U C K.

Fragrancia is ranked 122,650^th in the world and 2,568^th in The North Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 1,025.69 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
