The Province of Narbonensis is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Galba with an iron fist, and remarkable for its zero percent divorce rate, smutty television, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 32.311 billion Narbonensisians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Narbonensis. The average income tax rate is 59.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Narbonensisian economy, worth a remarkable 3,666 trillion knots a year, is mostly made up of the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Basket Weaving, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 113,483 knots, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

State media features lively debates such as whether pineapple on pizza is an acceptable topping, litter collection has replaced fast food as the most popular after-school job, fish with fish chips have become the new Narbonensisian food staple, and childhood friends of Galba are living it large abroad at the taxpayers' expense. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Narbonensis's national animal is the roman, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Narbonensis is ranked 28,605th in the world and 1,914th in Balder for Lowest Crime Rates, with 83.55 law-abiding acts per hour.
