The Province also invested in surgenerating power plants, in order to reuse waste from other reactors to produce electricity instead of forming long-lived waste.
 
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.

===Départements & Région de Balanque===
The province is composed of four départements, which are minor divisions. The unique role of these departments is the maintenance of the secondary road network, as well as the distribution of social allowances. The government also names "Préfets", who are in charge during great events or natural, industrial or crisis situations.
 
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.


===Départements===
=== Principauty of Paran ''(franquese:Principauté de Paran, special status for Paran island)'' ===
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. Léviant, which is the capital of the province, does not belong to any department and has its own local authority.
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.

==== Railroads ====
The Province has a well-developed railroad network, with mainly two networks interconnected : the classical network, up to 220 kph, and the high-speed network composed of seven high-speed lines limited to 320 or 350 kph. Various options are offered to the users of the Network :
* "TGV" services, interconnecting greats cities. Tickets are costing from 15 As$ to 140 As$, depending of the period and of the distance. Stations are alternatively historical stations into the towns and cities, and new "TGV stations" arround them.
* "Intercités" services, interconnecting cities, towns and villages by quite long distances. Cost of the tickets are fixed, but depend of the distance.
* Local services :
** [https://www.opengeofiction.net/relation/372215 SUFEB] (''Franquese : Service urbain ferroviaire de la Région de Balanque)'' : 7 lines (A to G) in the Région de Balanque which are in the middle between train and subway, and the X line which is an express line up to 260 kph, all totally integrated in the urban network of public transport.
** Métro ferroviaire de la Métropole côtière de Chamarande-Jacobville, going from St-Rigaud to Jacobville by Chamarand on the cost to desserv all the suburbs. This line is partially integrated to public transport networks of Chamarande, Jacobville and St-Rigaud.
** Lignes départementales de service public : local lines on classical network, which are payed partially by departments. They are very economical, but comfortable and mostly fastest than car.
==== Roads ====
The [https://www.opengeofiction.net/relation/252648 Route de la Confédération (N1)] passes through the Province, mostly on the coast excepted in the west of Léviant. The A1 highway also pass through the province, without desserving great urban areas.
The province invested for a complete network of highways, all controlled by tolls and organised by the Compagnie Lévionnaise des Autoroutes. They are completed by trunk roads, which are totally free. Some major axes in the Province have both, for example between Léviant and Bury where there are the N1-Confederation Road and the new A28-Highway between Conque and the Bury deviation. Highways and trunk roads are both decided by the Province, excepted in the Région de Balanque where the local authority can decide of every project.
The complementary network is composed of primary roads, names D-number (or B-number in the Région de Balanque), and secondary roads both controlled by departments. Tertiary and minor roads are controlled by departments or by municipalities.

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 Ardencian 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, Hotago and Caran, 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 Région de Balanque, including Léviant and Phirmont urban areas, which has a special status and which is the biggest urban area of the Astrasian Confederation, and the Métropole Côtière de Chamarande-Jacobville, going from St-Rigaud near to Sainte-Agnès province to Jacobville.

Economy

The province of Lévionnay, which is of medium size and has a relatively large population of around 30M inhabitants, has a certain number of industries and infrastructures which give it weight on the scale of the Confederation but also from the continent thanks to its links with the Astrasian Federation and with the north of the Confederation.

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 which is a public company administrated by the province.

The PINL (franquese : "Port d'intérêt national de Léviant"), located near Léviant in the Région de Balanque, is also significative, especially thanks to its proximity to the Aéroport International de Léviant St-Louis and to the region’s cutting-edge industries

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 Astrasian Confederation. 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. The Province also invested in surgenerating power plants, in order to reuse waste from other reactors to produce electricity instead of forming long-lived waste.

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.

Industry of excellence

Thanks to the links between universities, research centers and companies, Lévionnay and especially the Région de Balanque and the department of Saggamanches occidentales lauched campus and developped a world-recognized industry in high-tech, nuclear technologies, medical technologies, civil engineering and military tools.

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.

Départements & Région de Balanque

The province is composed of four départements, which are minor divisions. The unique role of these departments is the maintenance of the secondary road network, as well as the distribution of social allowances. The government also names "Préfets", who are in charge during great events or natural, industrial or crisis situations.

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.

Infrastructures

Transports

Railroads

The Province has a well-developed railroad network, with mainly two networks interconnected : the classical network, up to 220 kph, and the high-speed network composed of seven high-speed lines limited to 320 or 350 kph. Various options are offered to the users of the Network :

  • "TGV" services, interconnecting greats cities. Tickets are costing from 15 As$ to 140 As$, depending of the period and of the distance. Stations are alternatively historical stations into the towns and cities, and new "TGV stations" arround them.
  • "Intercités" services, interconnecting cities, towns and villages by quite long distances. Cost of the tickets are fixed, but depend of the distance.
  • Local services :
    • SUFEB (Franquese : Service urbain ferroviaire de la Région de Balanque) : 7 lines (A to G) in the Région de Balanque which are in the middle between train and subway, and the X line which is an express line up to 260 kph, all totally integrated in the urban network of public transport.
    • Métro ferroviaire de la Métropole côtière de Chamarande-Jacobville, going from St-Rigaud to Jacobville by Chamarand on the cost to desserv all the suburbs. This line is partially integrated to public transport networks of Chamarande, Jacobville and St-Rigaud.
    • Lignes départementales de service public : local lines on classical network, which are payed partially by departments. They are very economical, but comfortable and mostly fastest than car.

Roads

The Route de la Confédération (N1) passes through the Province, mostly on the coast excepted in the west of Léviant. The A1 highway also pass through the province, without desserving great urban areas.

The province invested for a complete network of highways, all controlled by tolls and organised by the Compagnie Lévionnaise des Autoroutes. They are completed by trunk roads, which are totally free. Some major axes in the Province have both, for example between Léviant and Bury where there are the N1-Confederation Road and the new A28-Highway between Conque and the Bury deviation. Highways and trunk roads are both decided by the Province, excepted in the Région de Balanque where the local authority can decide of every project.

The complementary network is composed of primary roads, names D-number (or B-number in the Région de Balanque), and secondary roads both controlled by departments. Tertiary and minor roads are controlled by departments or by municipalities.
