The Most Serene Republic of Pane Focaccia is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its closed borders, parental licensing program, and punitive income tax rates. The cynical, devout population of 2.437 billion Pane Focaccians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 69.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Pane Focaccian economy, worth 180 trillion lire 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 Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. 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 74,266 lire, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The jails are alive with the sound of birdsong, internet trolls are considered valiant supporters of the right to free speech, prisoners work-share to cut down rising costs of keeping them in jail, and endangered species are effective hostages against the Pane Focaccian military. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pane Focaccia's national animal is the lievito, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Pane Focaccia is ranked 46,019^th in the world and 3^rd in Realm of Baked Goods for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 2,075.68 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
