The Province of Picardy is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Charles-Thibault de Vermandois with an even hand, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, daily referendums, and punitive income tax rates. The quiet, industrious population of 31.629 billion Picards are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Amiens. The average income tax rate is 66.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Picard economy, worth 901 trillion francs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Woodchip Exports, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 28,487 francs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Carpet bombing has decimated Brasilistan's landscape and population, the nation's air missiles have killed thousands of Brasilistan military personnel, elite teams of assassins have been sent into Brasilistan, and 'Coloniser-in-Chief' has become Charles-Thibault de Vermandois's new moniker. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Picardy's national animal is the pigeon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Picardy is ranked 188,350^th in the world and 63^rd in Terranova for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 160.83 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
