The People's Republic of Pennsilfaani is a large, safe nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 171 million Pennsilfaanier 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. The average income tax rate is 69.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Pennsilfaanian economy, worth 7.10 trillion Deitschmarks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Basket Weaving, and Tourism. Average income is 41,491 Deitschmarks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Country folk are sent to obligatory boarding schools to learn how to be civilized, the government puts forth the claim that harming young girls is wrong, small children are learning a lot of new words from a teacher with Tourette Syndrome, and sick Pennsilfaanier are hair today and gone tomorrow. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pennsilfaani's national animal is the Distelfink, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Pennsilfaani is ranked 21,108^th in the world and 379^th in The Leftist Assembly for Nicest Citizens, with 22.56 average smiles per day.
