The People's Republic of Comrade Occitania is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Conselh Generau d'Estat with a fair hand, and notable for its complete lack of prisons, prohibition of alcohol, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 14.026 billion Comrade Occitanians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tolosa. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Comrade Occitanian economy, worth a remarkable 5,166 trillion Pesseta Occitanas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an amazing 368,360 Pesseta Occitanas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Thomas the Spank Engine is the most popular and controversial children's show in the nation, the government sends submarines to retrieve bodies from shipwrecked submarines, arguments about toilet seats being left up or down get surprisingly heated, and young children are learning advanced physics to scientifically disprove the existence of Santa Claus. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Comrade Occitania's national animal is the Leon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Comrade Occitania is ranked 290,686^th in the world and 3^rd in Solidaritat for Most Corrupt Governments, with 0.22 kickbacks per hour.
