The County of Bigorre is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Count Childéric III with an even hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 21.526 billion Bigourdans are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The minute, moralistic, pro-business government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tarbes. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.3%.

The powerhouse Bigourdan economy, worth a remarkable 1,234 trillion francs a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Uranium Mining, and Retail. Average income is 57,344 francs, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 196,734 per year while the poor average 12,267, a ratio of 16.0 to 1.

Bigorre has designated Tarbes as its capital city, Count Childéric III has just been declared ruler of Bigorre in an international press conference, parents must choose their children's names from a government-mandated master list, and Roman Catholicism has been named as Bigorre's national religion. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Bigorre's national animal is the lion and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Bigorre is ranked 58,058th in the world and 2nd in Aquitaine for Largest Mining Sector, scoring 5,429.86 on the Blue Sky Asbestos Index.
