The French Delight of Pauline Bonaparte is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by Her Worshipfulness Empress Pauline I with an iron fist, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, public floggings, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 15.801 billion Bonapartes 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 enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Carcassonne. The average income tax rate is 74.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

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 64,459 livre carcassonnais, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pauline Bonaparte's national animal is the lady-in-waiting, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is the Cult of Pauline.
