The Préfecture of Angouleme is a gargantuan, efficient nation, notable for its compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 25.31 billion Angoumoisins 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 Defense, Spirituality, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 23.1%.

The very strong Angoumoisin economy, worth a remarkable 1,214 trillion francs a year, is quite specialized and led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is 48,000 francs, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 146,632 per year while the poor average 12,179, a ratio of 12.0 to 1.

Voting is compulsory. Crime is a problem. Angouleme's national animal is the crow.

Angouleme is ranked 112,812^th in the world and 8^th in Cities for Most Advanced Public Transport, scoring 918.15 on the Societal Mobility Rating.
