The Prosperous Fortress of Fragrancia is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by the Fragrancians with an even hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, free-roaming dinosaurs, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 1.676 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 65.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Fragrancian economy, worth 195 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 116,600 Bauhinia Shards, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.8 times as much as the poorest.

Foreigners with shady pasts are fleeing the country, the armed forces have designated 'murder teams' that root out rebels in Brasilistan, it's a long jump to get onto the housing ladder, and captured Brasilistani POWs are staying in 5-star hotels. 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 43,027^th in the world and 1,426^th in The North Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 74 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
