The Free Land of Frankino is a very large, socially progressive nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 141 million Frankinoans 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, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 51.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Frankinoan economy, worth 5.92 trillion Frankinetas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Tourism. Average income is 41,964 Frankinetas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's only university is the School of Hard Knocks, passionate nomination battles are often as intense as general elections, shady doctors seem to have impeccable records, and the delay between passed legislation and real world implementation is often a decade or longer. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Frankino's national animal is the Lynx, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Frankino is ranked 14,962^nd in the world and 397^th in The East Pacific for Safest, scoring 116.71 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
