The Holy Queendom of New Touraine is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Queen Marie of France with an iron fist, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, national health service, and pith helmet sales. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical, cheerful, devout population of 3.562 billion Tourangeaux are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tours. The average income tax rate is 73.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Tourangeau economy, worth 859 trillion livres a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 241,291 livres, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

Money always talks but the taboo subject of death just brings silence, pawn shop reality shows dominate basic cable, father-son fishing trips have been banned, and the NHS is snowed under by requests for crisper ciabatta and tenderer tagliatelle. Crime is totally unknown. New Touraine's national animal is the Coq Gaulois, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Catholicism.

New Touraine is ranked 3,743^rd in the world and 58^th in Europe for Highest Average Incomes, with 241,291.78 Standard Monetary Units.
