abstract
| - Louisiana was one of the states of the United States of America, located in the mid-south adjacent to Texas, Arkansas, Mississippi, and the Gulf of Mexico. It was the 18th state admitted to the Union in 1812. Its capital up to Doomsday was Baton Rouge. The state was reconstituted on March 15, 1987, with the new state capital in Lafayette. Despite its status as a state, Louisiana is in fact an independent country. The state is divided into three parishes - Lafayette, Monroe and Lake Arthur - and the state government is headquartered in Lafayette. Lafayette, with a population of 80,000, not only hosts the state government but also the seat of the Lafayette Parish government, responsible for governing central Louisiana. An estimated 221,000 people in total live in the parish. Monroe, a community of 56,000, is the capital of Monroe Parish, which encompasses northern Louisiana and has an estimated population of 197,000. Monroe also has a close political relationship with Natchez, Mississippi, the other dominant town in the region. Lake Arthur, a community of 2,400 located a short distance from the Gulf of Mexico, is the hub for a string of survivor communities and camps stretching from the old Texas border to the famous bayous in the east, with an estimated total population of 15,000.
