The United Socialist States of Packienestago is a large, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its national health service, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 105 million Packienestagoans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 72.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Packienestagoan economy, worth 1.75 trillion pesos a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 16,713 pesos, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Scoutmasters debate whether luxury log cabins defeat the purpose of camping, every week is blindness awareness week, protest songs are the nation's de facto anthems, and park rangers struggle to deal with a rash of stolen pic-a-nic baskets. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Packienestago's national animal is the fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Packienestago is ranked 311,231^st in the world and 3,787^th in The East Pacific for Most Developed, scoring 47.89 on the Human Development Index.
