The Confederacy of Padokea is a very large, efficient nation, renowned for its teetotalling pirates, prohibition of alcohol, and frequent executions. The quiet, industrious population of 446 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 56.6%.

The all-consuming Padokean economy, worth 48.6 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 108,898 Jennies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.3 times as much as the poorest.

Government leaders testify at international tribunals on why the sun went out, raindances intended to summon storms instead attract tourists, taking hostages is a great way to influence government policy, and multiple polls have christened the newly-formed Filibuster Committee as "the least efficient government bureaucracy". 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 58,551^st in the world and 1,094^th in The North Pacific for Highest Poor Incomes, with 49,844.29 Standard Monetary Units.
