The Department of Haute-Garonne is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its state-planned economy and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed population of 3.519 billion Haut-Garonnaises are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Toulouse. The average income tax rate is 46.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Haut-Garonnais economy, worth 39.3 trillion francs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Trout Farming, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 11,174 francs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Glamping Haut-Garonnaises won't sleep in a tent that doesn't include a Jacuzzi, the installation of street lights across remote goat tracks has left citizens bemused, teenage girls in knee-length surfer shorts have become a cultural icon of Haute-Garonne, and hockey players who drop their gloves discard them on abandoned baseball mitts. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Haute-Garonne's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Haute-Garonne is ranked 103,219th in the world and 37th in Department Store for Most Authoritarian, with 934.28 milliStalins.
