The Kingdom of Louisianne (le Royaume de la Louisianne) originated as the southwestern portion of the French territory of Louisianne, a province in New France. Louisianne was given the title Kingdom of Louisianne in 1827, when Louis XVII et II ascended the throne, taking for himself the title Roi de France, du Canada, et de la Louisianne. Louisianne and Canada split in 1945 with the death of Pierre I. Louisianne had rejected salic law, while Canada retained. Thus, in Louisianne, Pierre's daughter Marie became Queen, and in Canada his 1st cousin once removed Jacques became King.

The current monarch is Queen Marie II.

The currency of Louisianne is the livre divided into 20 sous. Historically, the sou was divided into 12 deniers, but inflation long ago eradicated that subdivision. For a while, inflation had eliminated the sou as well, but in 1977, the Louisianne livre was revalued, with 10 old livres becoming 1 new sou. The livre is abbreviated £ and the sou s.
