The Sovereign Socialist Nation of Patoka is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by Prime Minister Wagner-Stock with an even hand, and renowned for its national health service, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cheerful population of 7.982 billion Patokans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gather. The average income tax rate is 94.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Patokan economy, worth 940 trillion buttons a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Pizza Delivery, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. Average income is an impressive 117,848 buttons, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

In the Beginning was the Word and the Word was "Pragmatism", giggling elementary school newspaper reporters want to know why Prime Minister Wagner-Stock is a silly poophead, the Patokan Babysitters Club has proven to be a huge relief to stressed-out parents across the nation, and any citizen who cries is immediately assigned a psychiatrist. Crime is totally unknown. Patoka's national animal is the monarch butterfly, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Universalism.

Patoka is ranked 97,302nd in the world and 351st in the West Pacific for Largest Populations, with 7.98 billion capita.
