Average income is 53,738 Alsatian-Lorrainian francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Alsace and Lorraine's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
