The Department of Haute-Loire is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Gérard Roche with an iron fist, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, frequent executions, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 20.189 billion Altiligériens are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Le Puy-en-Velay. The average income tax rate is 26.3%.

The very strong Altiligérien economy, worth a remarkable 1,543 trillion francs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Tourism, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 76,471 francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.6 times as much as the poorest.

Kids are arrested at gunpoint for playing with toy rifles, Tom and Jerry cartoons have cat and mouse resolving their problems with reasoned discussion, Haute-Loire Barrier Island residents anxiously await their 'Bridge to Somewhere', and street crime is on the rise as police officers spend most of their time in prisons. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Haute-Loire's national animal is the goat and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Haute-Loire is ranked 189,832nd in the world and 37th in Department Store for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 26.32 Effective Tax Rate.
