The Royaume of Nouvelle-Orleans is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by King François-Napoléon with a fair hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, anti-smoking policies, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 21.612 billion Nouvelle Orleanians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Spirituality, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Orleans. The average income tax rate is 25.0%.

The all-consuming Nouvelle Orleanian economy, worth a remarkable 2,055 trillion Commonwealth francs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Book Publishing, and Information Technology. Average income is 95,122 Commonwealth francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

Inheritance tax has recently been abolished, elections have become procedural nightmares due to voters persistently rejecting candidates, conductors wield diamond-encrusted batons to fit in with their freshly gilded surroundings, and protests are legal but strictly supervised. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nouvelle-Orleans's national animal is the black bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Nouvelle-Orleans is ranked 50,600^th in the world and 1^st in French Empire for Most Beautiful Environments, with 683.75 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
