The Provincial Union of Brittany Normandy Aquitaine is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Gael Yannick XXXVII with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, ubiquitous missile silos, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, devout population of 5.669 billion Bretons Normans Occitans 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nantes. The average income tax rate is 37.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Brittany Normandy Aquitainean economy, worth 702 trillion Euros a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 123,984 Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Tradesmen will knock 10% off their fees if customers pay cash, citizens who plan overseas vacations are barred from running for political office, boys who even ask about cheerleading are placed on the Sex Offenders Register, and denied drugs and entertainment the nation's youth are taking to petty crime to alleviate their boredom. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Brittany Normandy Aquitaine's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Brittany Normandy Aquitaine is ranked 196,463^rd in the world and 637^th in Europe for Lowest Overall Tax Burden, scoring 31.93 on the Hayek Index.
