The Kingdom of True Franland is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Nolan Teysseyre II with an iron fist, and notable for its museums and concert halls, ban on automobiles, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, cynical population of 1.971 billion True Franlandians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Administration, Industry, and Education are also considered important, while International Aid and Spirituality receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fral-city. The average income tax rate is 20.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The thriving True Franlandian economy, worth 145 trillion True Frals a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 73,602 True Frals, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

The alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, pharmaceutical companies emphatically promise that "your pills are in the mail" rather than admit any supply shortfall, citizens who leave the nation for work are instantly charged with treason, and the nation's navy has been named the scourge of the seven thousand seas. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. True Franland's national animal is the Coyote, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

True Franland is ranked 13,320th in the world and 1st in Antraland for Largest Basket Weaving Sector, scoring 6,683.65 on the Hickory Productivity Index.
