The Province of Guyenne and Gascony is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Leader with an even hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 18.7 billion Gascons 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, moralistic, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Agen. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 18.3%.

The very strong Guyenne and Gasconyian economy, worth a remarkable 1,091 trillion francs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Cheese Exports, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 58,393 francs, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 178,379 per year while the poor average 14,816, a ratio of 12.0 to 1.

Education and welfare spending are on the rise, Guyenne and Gascony has designated Agen as its capital city, Leader has just been declared ruler of Guyenne and Gascony in an international press conference, and Roman Catholicism has been named as Guyenne and Gascony's national religion. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Guyenne and Gascony's national animal is the lion, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Guyenne and Gascony is ranked 178,242^nd in the world and 11^th in Aquitaine for Largest Basket Weaving Sector, scoring 1,159.05 on the Hickory Productivity Index.
