The Disputed Territories of Panmunjom is a colossal, safe nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, avowedly heterosexual populace, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 4.645 billion Panmunjomians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Law & Order, with Defense, Administration, and Healthcare also on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 24.1%.

The strong Panmunjomian economy, worth 223 trillion Delta Eagles a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Uranium Mining, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 48,010 Delta Eagles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.6 times as much as the poorest.

Election ballot papers are so long that unused ones are recycled as toilet roll, pareidolic SETI scientists swear there's a message from aliens hidden within pi, scientists are not permitted to ask questions, and the studies of art and philosophy are banned. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Panmunjom's national animal is the Kitsune, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Panmunjom is ranked 201,158^th in the world and 7^th in Caliban for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 54.31 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
