The Department of Maine-et-Loire is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Bernard Gonzalez with an even hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed population of 16.23 billion Angevins 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Angers. The average income tax rate is 31.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Angevin economy, worth 790 trillion francs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Arms Manufacturing, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 48,707 francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Future leaders of Maine-et-Loire regularly dismiss pressing political issues when available options don't conform to their worldview, ethnic minorities are often refused admission to some of the nation's best schools, blind dates tend to result in bruised shins, and billions are being spent on a new island airport. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Maine-et-Loire's national animal is the cow, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Maine-et-Loire is ranked 194,687th in the world and 54th in Department Store for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 530.06 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
