The Republic of Panorama Paradise is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space, sprawling nuclear power plants, and public floggings. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 972 million Panorama Paradiseans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 35.7%.

The very strong Panorama Paradisean economy, worth 80.9 trillion Euros a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 83,193 Euros, with the richest citizens earning 7.5 times as much as the poorest.

Military officers are given medals for disobeying orders, 'To Regulate And Beyond' is the unofficial motto of the Panorama Paradisean Space Agency, government statistics suggest 115% of the population love Leader, and baby dolls thrown in the trash are a leading cause of panic attacks. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Panorama Paradise's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Panorama Paradise is ranked 102,431^st in the world and 828^th in Europe for Highest Food Quality, scoring 22.6 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
