The Queen's State of Pasayten is a gargantuan, efficient nation, notable for its complete lack of prisons, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 40.735 billion Pasaytenians enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The minute, pro-business government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.8%.

The very strong Pasaytenian economy, worth a remarkable 1,787 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 43,873 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 298,284 per year while the poor average 2,357, a ratio of 126 to 1.

Young children are regularly seen wagering pocket money at blackjack tables, graffiti graces every city's streets, streakers swamp all public events in order to bare it all, and fur coats have become the latest fashion trend. Crime, especially youth-related, is a major problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Pasayten's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Pasayten is ranked 158,550^th in the world and 1^st in Pasayten for Smartest Citizens, with 28.8 quips per hour.
