The Fiefdom of Pan-Pawnee is a titanic, socially progressive nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 12.978 billion Pan-Pawneeans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 58.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Pan-Pawneean economy, worth 202 trillion Knots a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing. Average income is 15,604 Knots, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pan-Pawnee's national animal is the Thalasso.

Pan-Pawnee is ranked 142,436^th in the world and 10^th in The DankLeft Commune for Most Cultured, scoring 64 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
