The Republic of Pakania is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Presidenta Víolet de Armacielo with a fair hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, compulsory military service, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 4.017 billion Pakanians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Terarequí. The average income tax rate is 64.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Pakanian economy, worth 541 trillion Pakanian pesos a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Retail, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 134,722 Pakanian pesos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Pakanians submit requests for a date in writing with an enclosed RSVP card, explicit slash fiction is repackaged for kindergarten kids as stories about friends cuddling friends, Blackacrean security services are wondering why Presidenta Víolet de Armacielo is so fond of the numbers 6, 7 and 9, and diplomatic missions are often mistaken as declarations of war. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pakania's national animal is the Eyelash viper, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Pakania is ranked 14,962^nd in the world and 940^th in Balder for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 4,074.63 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
