The Community of Nouvelle Picardie is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Titu Yupanki with a fair hand, and remarkable for its unlimited-speed roads, state-planned economy, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 31.532 billion Nouvelle Picardieans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, liberal, outspoken government is dominated by the Department of Defense, with Education and Social Policy also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Law & Order receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cuzco. The average income tax rate is 55.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Nouvelle Picardiean economy, worth a remarkable 5,930 trillion sols 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 large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. 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 an impressive 188,084 sols, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Religious turf wars have caused frustrated police to pray for divine intervention, vital intelligence-gathering activities are put on hold as agents return home for seduction training and advanced poker instruction, pocket calculators are seen as status symbols for the ostentatiously wealthy, and the sudden proliferation of nuclear weapons is very queer. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Nouvelle Picardie's national animal is the llama, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Nouvelle Picardie is ranked 339,104th in the world and 41st in European Union for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -13.71 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
