The Department of Ain is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Rachel Mazuir with an even hand, and notable for its suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 22.368 billion Ainois have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bourg-en-Bresse. The average income tax rate is 40.5%.

The very strong Ainois economy, worth a remarkable 1,222 trillion francs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Tourism. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 54,669 francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

Prisoners work-share to cut down rising costs of keeping them in jail, those found guilty of illicit affairs are jailed, citizens sell their moldy bread as homemade penicillin, and drug lords often avoid prison time by teaching "chemistry" classes to underprivileged youth. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ain's national animal is the bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Ain is ranked 116,445^th in the world and 13^th in Department Store for Lowest Crime Rates, with 64.08 law-abiding acts per hour.
