The Principality of Gevaudan is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Bishop Arnaut-Thibéry of Mende with an even hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 23.149 billion Gevaudanians are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The medium-sized, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Javols. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 27.6%.

The very strong Gevaudanian economy, worth a remarkable 1,047 trillion francs a year, is quite specialized and led by the Soda Sales industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Retail. Average income is 45,260 francs, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 138,262 per year while the poor average 11,484, a ratio of 12.0 to 1.

Voting is compulsory, Roman Catholicism has been named as Gevaudan's national religion, Gevaudan has designated Javols as its capital city, and Bishop Arnaut-Thibéry of Mende has just been declared ruler of Gevaudan in an international press conference. Crime is moderate. Gevaudan's national animal is the beast and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Gevaudan is ranked 217,528^th in the world and 19^th in Aquitaine for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 28.28 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
