The Grand Duchy of Paloris is a massive, pleasant nation, remarkable for its burgeoning eagle population. The hard-working population of 1.145 billion Palorisians 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 Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 20.7%.

The Palorisian economy, worth 47.8 trillion marks a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Soda Sales industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Automobile Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 41,787 marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Paloris's national animal is the eagle.

Paloris is ranked 278,611^th in the world and 1^st in Edc authority group for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring -6.32 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
