The Department of Alpes-de-Haute-Provence is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its compulsory military service, restrictive gun laws, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 7.243 billion Bas-Alpins 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 relatively small, moralistic, pro-business government is primarily concerned with Spirituality, although Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Social Policy and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Digne-les-Bains. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.4%.
The very strong Bas-Alpin economy, worth 473 trillion francs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Automobile Manufacturing, and Tourism. Average income is 65,346 francs, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 217,496 per year while the poor average 14,629, a ratio of 14.9 to 1.
Visiting dignitaries make excuses to leave functions early and head to the nearest pub, all major public areas are watched by police surveillance cameras, Leader has just been declared ruler of Alpes-de-Haute-Provence in an international press conference, and a major religion has been named as Alpes-de-Haute-Provence's national religion. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Alpes-de-Haute-Provence's national animal is the wolf, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.
Alpes-de-Haute-Provence is ranked 173,001st in the world and 58th in Department Store for Most Stationary, with 92.50728107308 days.
