The Protectorate of Upper Louisiana is a mammoth, safe nation, notable for its compulsory military service, absence of drug laws, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 6.618 billion Upper Louisianans enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 69.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Upper Louisianan economy, worth 427 trillion Acadian dollars a year, is dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 64,644 Acadian dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Agreeing to appear on TV is often the best way to access social care, the traditional Violetist dish of stuffed sheep's head is served with an intense look of shock upon its face, children's TV shows are having a gay old time, and motivational posters send motorists positive vibes in high-risk areas. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Upper Louisiana's national animal is the robin.

Upper Louisiana is ranked 227,931^st in the world and 2^nd in Penny for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring -2.21 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
