The Federal Republic of Great Occitanie is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its compulsory military service, smutty television, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed population of 153 million Great Occitanieans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.
The medium-sized, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 38.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but inefficient Great Occitaniean economy, worth 9.45 trillion Occitan Francs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 61,773 Occitan Francs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The "temporary replacement bus service" is now a permanent fixture, men who wear pink are seen as dangerously unmanly, mining safety laws are often more expensive than what's being mined, and virtual assistants are seen with increasing suspicion every time they get an upgrade. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Great Occitanie's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
Great Occitanie is ranked 135,118th in the world and 47th in Ensio for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 1,217.94 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
