The City of Digne is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Bshop Myriel with an even hand, and notable for its compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 19.042 billion Dignois 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, pro-business government is primarily concerned with Spirituality, although Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare are also considered important, while International Aid is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Digne-les-Bains. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 11.5%.

The very strong Dignean economy, worth a remarkable 1,190 trillion francs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Gambling, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 62,543 francs, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 208,165 per year while the poor average 14,002, a ratio of 14.9 to 1.

Digne has designated Digne-les-Bains as its capital city, voting is compulsory, Roman Catholicism has been named as Digne's national religion, and Bshop Myriel has just been declared ruler of Digne in an international press conference. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Digne's national animal is the dolphin, which can occasionally be seen avoiding garbage in the nation's murky oceans, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Digne is ranked 215,316^th in the world and 10^th in Cities for Largest Governments, scoring 10.15 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
