The Barangay of Palico II is a colossal, cultured nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, frequent executions, and state-planned economy. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 2.749 billion Palico IIians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 44.8%.

The powerhouse Palico IIian economy, worth 246 trillion pesos a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient black market in Arms Manufacturing, Trout Farming, Basket Weaving, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 89,837 pesos, with the richest citizens earning 9.3 times as much as the poorest.

Overly distant dads are conscripted into national nappy service, the nation's reputation for treachery has left it sidelined on the international stage, the government funds large training centres to turn eagles into functioning members of society, and politicians have to be granted day-release from prison to speak on bills. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Palico II's national animal is the eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Palico II is ranked 305,240^th in the world and 4^th in Imus for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring -11.61 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
