The Federal Republic of Fran Advar is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by President Issac Carey with an even hand, and notable for its zero percent divorce rate, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, devout population of 10.058 billion Fran Advarians 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 enormous government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Healthcare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Port Bynald. The average income tax rate is 94.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Fran Advarian economy, worth a remarkable 1,350 trillion deniers a year, is highly specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 134,222 deniers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

The law says it's okay to sell a bomb to a terrorist so long as they promise not to detonate it, dancing with your first cousin is a misdemeanor, old people living in plastic bubbles complain about a new type of social isolation, and the military maintains a fierce arsenal of 'Cure Missiles'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fran Advar's national animal is the dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Fran Advar is ranked 30,925^th in the world and 615^th in The North Pacific for Most Patriotic, with 42.52 flags saluted per person per day.
