The Department of Loir-et-Cher is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Jean-Luc Brindeau with an even hand, and notable for its frequent executions, keen interest in outer space, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 20.348 billion Loir-et-Chériens are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Blois. The average income tax rate is 21.5%.

The strong Loir-et-Chérien economy, worth a remarkable 1,428 trillion francs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 70,190 francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

The easiest method of escaping from prison is to take singing lessons, being a member of the glee club disqualifies Loir-et-Chériens from space travel, buses are widely regarded as the safest way to travel, and building a phallus out of Minecraft blocks counts as indecent exposure. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Loir-et-Cher's national animal is the lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Loir-et-Cher is ranked 223,512^th in the world and 49^th in Department Store for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 886.48 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
