Lévionnay is one of the provinces that make up the Astrasian Confederation (Frenquese : Confédération astrasienne).Of intermediate size, it constitutes an important seafront, due to the many bays and river estuaries ideally located in the open sea of the Lilianes.

Geography

Location

The most of the province is located on the coast, excepted one of the four départements, which is located totally in the hinterland. It is bordered to the east and north by the province of Sainte-Agnès, to the northwest by Onatino and to the west by the province of St-Raphael.

Topography

There is three main moutains in the province : a part of the Collines des Saggamanches, traveling the whole province, the Massif de Plantemorgue, on the coast, and finally a part of the Massif du Chanceux, going to the city of St-Jean-de-Chance (Sainte-Agnès).

Population

There are two mains urban area in Lévionnay, concentrating the most of the people : the Métropole Côtière de Chamarande-Jacobville, going from St-Rigaud near to Sainte-Agnès province to Jacobville, and the Balanque urban area (not build yet).

Economy

Lévionnay isn't a very populated province, but there are many industrial places making it significant in the Ardencian Federation.

Harbours

Currently, Lévionnay have a significant harbour with oil/gas and container terminals in Chamarande, the PINC (franquese : "Port d'Intérêt National de Chamarande"), operated by the CL2P - Compagnie Lévionnaise des Ports de Plantemorgue wich is a public company administrated by the province. A naval base is going to be build in St-Rigaud Bay, to develop Ardencian Navy's capacities.

Power plants

From more than three decades, local government of Lévionnay province decided to develop a energetic policy in order to become an important productor of energy in the Ardencian federation. In this context, several nuclear power plants have been built, including that of Milneuf (department of Plantemorgue) which hosts six nuclear fission reactors but also the first nuclear fusion reactor connected to the electricity network resulting from a collaboration between many provinces and States, Super Milneuf Fusion. Although nuclear power already produces more electricity than the province requires, thus making it possible to export to other provinces, Lévionnay has also built large hydroelectric dams, particularly in the Massif de Plantemorgue, as well as a few additional gas plants. Electricity production is therefore diversified, controllable and carbon-free, the result of a long-term project led by the provincial government.

Attracting new industries and workers

The provincial government want to attract in the province new companies, industries and workers to develop the economy. For this, the province has many advantages such as inexpensive energy, developed transport infrastructures, to which are added tax advantages and aid for new businesses. The province is also relying on communication throughout the Ardennes federation, with the aim of making the opportunities offered known. Major communication campaigns are thus launched throughout the country, with the logo and the slogan of the province.

Commercial identity for promoting the province, Lévionnay, Ardencian Federation.

Political administration

Provincial Assembly

Lévionnay, as an Astrasian state, have a parlementary assembly. It is composed of 350 members named "Conseillers provinciaux" elected directly for six years. This assembly is charged to vote the budget of the province, and also to elect the President of the Province (Franquese : Président provincial de Lévionnay).

Départements & Région de Balanque

The province is composed of four départements, which are minor divisions. The unique role the only role of these departments is the maintenance of the secondary road network, as well as the distribution of social allowances.

The area around Léviant, the capital of the Province, isn't member of any of the four Départements. A special local collectivity, the Région de Balanque, was created to administrate all the urban area. It has a special parliamentary council, charged to coordonate the development of the urban area around the Détroit de Balanque including Léviant.

Principauty of Paran (franquese:Principauté de Paran, special status for Paran island)

Historically, the Paran Island wasn't a part of the Province and had an Defense and cooperation agreement with the Astrasian confederation. The principauty was governed by the Princes de Paran dynasty since 1023 AD.

In 1982, the Island organised a referendum to decide on the integration of the Island into the Province of Lévionnay. 11% of citizens vote against, 6% yes with full integration into the Balanque Region created a year earlier and 83% yes with preservation of partial autonomy and maintenance of the prince. The integration took effect on January 1st, 1984. Since then, the Balanque Region has carried out development work and maintenance of the road network on the Island as in the rest of the Region, but the Council of the Island Canton is the only one competent to decide on planning policy, cultural policy or even economic policy insofar as they meet the common criteria imposed on all the communities of the Région de Balanque.

The Prince is legally the head of the Island's government, which is the executive part of the Council of the Island Canton. He traditionnally lives in the Palais des Princes on the heights of the city, and goes every day to the palace of the government (franquese:Palais du Gouvernement Général de Paran) to preside the Council of Ministers. At least one time a week, he presides over a parade and reviews the troops of the Confederation stationed on the island, either on a base, or more often in the national monument of Paran located opposite the General Government.

The current Prince de Paran is Antoine-Charles IV de Paran, since 2018. He still live in the Palais des Princes in the city of Paran, and presides all the Conseils du canton insulaire.
