The Confederacy of Padokea is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its teetotalling pirates, prohibition of alcohol, and ubiquitous missile silos. The quiet, industrious population of 439 million Padokeans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Kurta. The average income tax rate is 56.0%.

The all-consuming Padokean economy, worth 47.7 trillion Jennies a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 108,542 Jennies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.3 times as much as the poorest.

All work and no play has rendered the nation's children somewhat intelligent but also remarkably dull, exports are stamped with "made by the invisible hand you commies", government leaders testify at international tribunals on why the sun went out, and raindances intended to summon storms instead attract tourists. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Padokea's national animal is the Leopard, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Padokea is ranked 36,934^th in the world and 795^th in The North Pacific for Most Developed, scoring 80.71 on the Human Development Index.
