The Republica of Panay is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by Usman Rajata with an iron fist, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, flagrant waste-dumping, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 11.28 billion Panayians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Education, and Industry also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Environment aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Panáu. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 54.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Panayian economy, worth a remarkable 1,846 trillion Panieses a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an impressive 163,672 Panieses, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 953,807 per year while the poor average 13,245, a ratio of 72.0 to 1.

Many of the poor live from cradle to grave without ever seeing sunlight, rabbits are known to spontaneously explode without warning, the nation won three wars against Brancaland this weekend, and governments opposing Panay are beset by rebels. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Panay's national animal is the Serpiente, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Panay is ranked 329,886^th in the world and 16^th in Asamblea del Orbe for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring -14.49 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
