The Dominion of Frankstonia is a massive, orderly nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and frequent executions. The compassionate, cynical population of 1.734 billion Frankstonians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Frankston South. The average income tax rate is 93.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Frankstonian economy, worth 207 trillion Golden Beans a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 119,593 Golden Beans, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The latest "must-have" uPhone is 1/4 mm thinner than last year's uPhone, tabloids coo over Leader's expected child, small patches of desolate land across the world are part of Frankstonian sovereign territory, and strange lights seen in the sky are officially regarded as weather balloons or hoaxes and nothing else. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Frankstonia's national animal is the Beer Bottle Frog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Frankstonia is ranked 3,877^th in the world and 8^th in Karma for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 3,084.28 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
