It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bastia. The average income tax rate is 34%, but much higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry.

Dog breeding has been banned in accordance with recent animal experimentation laws, the people are famous throughout the region for their bleached-white teeth, citizens are enjoying a recent large cut in taxes, and military spending is on the increase.
