Economy: A primarily agriculture based society, the economy of Orleans is based around its extensive tracts of fertile land among its colonized worlds. Producing wheat, poultry, dairy, beef, pork, and lamb are the primary exports of Orleans, totaling upwards of 50% of its total economy. Furthermore, owing to its colonial territories, numerous fine wines, champagnes, rums, and burbons all are produced/distilled for further exportation/internal consumption. Currently, nearly 38% of Orleans active population is employed in agriculture, with the agri-food industry making up 42% of Orleans GDP.

The secondary sector of Orleans economic power resides in the mining/mineral wealth of its worlds. Massive crude oil derricks, deepwater oil platforms, and expansive iron/coal mines make up the back bone of both the power industry and the military industrial complexes of Orleans. Energy is provide via two main sources, that being the Hydroelectric power plants dotting the numerous rivers of Orleans and its colonies, and more heavily, in heavy Thermal power plants, producing energy based off of heavy crimson oil, found in abundance all throughout the realms of Orleans. The energy and mining sectors of Orleans employ a further 20% of the active population, and equate to roughly 13% of total GDP.

The remaining sectors of Orleans econimic power/employment comprise of military industry, tourism, finance, fishing, recycling, and so on.

The people of the Kingdom of Orleans have yet to discover nuclear energy, and to their knowledge, have no known sources of radioactive materials, as well as a known lack of heavier metals, such as titanium and platnium.

Military: The Military of the Kingdom of Orleans is broken into three distinct branches, each serving overall towards the defense of the Kingdom, its people, and above all else, its sovereign. In the endless void of space, the Royal Orleans Navy guards both near and afar. On the ground and internal airspace, the Royal Orleans Army and Army-Air Corp defends the kingdom's interests, and when the call arises, takes the fight to the enemy. Last, is the Orleans National Gendarmerie, who patrol the streets, cities, and colonies of the Kingdom. Officers are a mixture of promising candidates who've earned their positions through merit, and those of noble families, who purchased a commission for their son(s). The rest of the military is a mixture of career soldiers, and those who are serving their compulsory military service, requiring all men upon turning 18 to serve until they are 24 years old, upon which they are sent into reserve units until they are 48 years old.

*Enlistees can choose to extend their terms of active service, and in return can choose another branch of the armed forces should they so choose. Furthermore, all men can apply for reserve service extensions to the age of 60, dependent upon rank and position.*

*Excerpt from the Royal Archives, Document AH-0001.*
"Concerning the time and history prior to the Great Journey, little to none is known. The Arc, La'Vie, experienced a rough landing upon coming into contact with Quenelles. The ship experienced a navigational error, along with unexplained systems failures, leading to the vessel to initiate an emergency re-entry landing upon the southern plains of the northern hemisphere's main continent, now known as Bastonne. The crash heavily damaged the archives, as well as nearly destroying the ship's main power-core, which lead to the reliance on secondary reactors, which have long since been drained within 50 years of touchdown. We are without knowledge of the past, save for those of learned dispositions, and for our own story's passed down through generations. For all intents and purposes, we are starting anew in Year One, E.E. Exodus Era." Captain Jean-Bart Garamonte.

**The Kingdom of Orleans uses it own designation for era designation, however, in accordance with greater Eden cluster time keeping standards, there is a roughly 200 year difference in actual eras, due in part to the arrival of the Arc La'Vie 200 years after initial Core systems colonization ship landing. Actual arrival to Eden Cluster is believed to have happened roughly 700 years ago.** Notes of Orleans Explorer Guy D'Lusignan.
