The Department of Loire-Atlantique is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Patrick Kermadec with an even hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 18.637 billion Nantaises are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Healthcare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nantes. The average income tax rate is 10.5%.

The strong Nantais economy, worth a remarkable 1,265 trillion francs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 67,910 francs, with the richest citizens earning 5.0 times as much as the poorest.

Elite teams of assassins have been sent into Brasilistan, it is illegal to distribute Girl Guide Cookies without an advanced food hygiene diploma, tampons are used as cheap fishing bobbers, and entire families are dragged into counseling whenever children fight on a playground. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Loire-Atlantique's national animal is the dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Loire-Atlantique is ranked 129,006^th in the world and 54^th in Department Store for Most Patriotic, with 12.43 flags saluted per person per day.
