The Federal Republic of Acadiana-Pontchartrain is a massive, genial nation, remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.178 billion Acadiana-Pontchartrainians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Le Nouveau-Lafayette. The average income tax rate is 70.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Acadiana-Pontchartrainian economy, worth 193 trillion francs a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 88,998 francs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

There's no such thing as bad publicity, people who have had childhood imaginary friends are told they can't ever be trusted with guns, reddish-brown is the new black, and passionate nomination battles are often as intense as general elections. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Acadiana-Pontchartrain's national animal is the cow-eating brown pelican, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Acadiana-Pontchartrain is ranked 27,832^nd in the world and 1,874^th in Balder for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 230.68 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
