Full Name of Nation: The people's Republic of Frank Scott
Brief History: In the late 1990s, a small group of software engineers decided to pool their assets and purchase an island. They decided to found a sovereign nation, and appoint their old boss Frank as president. As the years passed, they gathered more and more people until there were a few million people living on the island of Frank Scott. At this time, they decided to become an active member of the international community, effectively solidifying their place amongst their fellow nations.
Government
Government Type: Liberal Democracy (However, Frank Scott tends to be the only candidate for office)
Capital: Frank Scott City, population 4,244,471
Government Notes: Every five years, the republic holds free elections to decide if Frank Scott will rule another term. This has never failed, and so no other candidate has ever had the opportunity to run against the president. The citizens, however, seem content with the ruling of Frank, and so nobody really gets upset about it.
