The Department of Loire-Atlantique is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Patrick Kermadec with an even hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 20.044 billion Nantaises 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 Spirituality, Healthcare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nantes. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 14.0%.

The strong Nantais economy, worth a remarkable 1,423 trillion francs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 71,025 francs, with the richest citizens earning 8.6 times as much as the poorest.

Stony-faced prosecutors play loud gangster rap music during court proceedings, 100-year-old politicians are now a thing of the past, sniffer dogs are trained to follow clouds of fruity-smelling vapor, and fancy dress parties are raided by military police for new recruits. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Loire-Atlantique's national animal is the dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Loire-Atlantique is ranked 110,652^nd in the world and 16^th in Department Store for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 1,687.72 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
