The Nostalgic Heaven of Pavonesia is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Cerulean Empress Yuuki of Nüwa with an iron fist, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, digital currency, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 12.416 billion Pavonians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Tianjin City. The average income tax rate is 99.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Pavonian economy, worth a remarkable 4,685 trillion Digital Sun Tokens a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 377,383 Digital Sun Tokens, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Chalkboards are replaced with billboards in the classroom, Cerulean Empress Yuuki of Nüwa has a wardrobe full of fake designer suits, the Messiah (formerly known as Brian) is a mayoral candidate, and atheism is seen as a prerequisite for political power. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pavonesia's national animal is the peacock, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Heaven Cult.

Pavonesia is ranked 973^rd in the world and 48^th in Lazarus for Lowest Crime Rates, with 172.11 law-abiding acts per hour.
