The Republic of Grande Gaule is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by President Émile Magnier with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, otherworldly petting zoo, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 7.366 billion Frenchmen are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.
The medium-sized, corrupt, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Paris. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 91.1%.
The frighteningly efficient French economy, worth a remarkable 1,987 trillion French francs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 269,810 French francs, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,450,991 per year while the poor average 26,130, a ratio of 55.5 to 1.
A cyber-war between file sharers and the music industry formats hard drives across the country, charity workers dole out hardtack from behind designer sunglasses, the nation's orphanages and maternity wards have been nicknamed 'the Killbot Factories', and a recent political speech drew the ire of nerds everywhere after the speaker claimed that Darth Vader was Harry Potter's father. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Grande Gaule's national animal is the Gallic rooster, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is secularism.
Grande Gaule is ranked 61,406th in the world and 943rd in The North Pacific for Most Stationary, with 756.45958531 days.
