The Misleading Flag of The Panoptic is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Brian Kaskamandis with an iron fist, and renowned for its public floggings, ban on automobiles, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 11.665 billion Panopticites are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Spirituality, Environment, and Industry also on the agenda, while Social Policy and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Center City. The average income tax rate is 71.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Panoptician economy, worth a remarkable 2,024 trillion Pucks a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Pizza Delivery, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 173,595 Pucks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

Card collectors duel to the death, arts classes now teach children how to sketch the perfect sine curve, doctors prescribe medicines but they rarely dispense hope or compassion, and genocide is seen as a topic best avoided in history lessons. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. The Panoptic's national animal is the Moose, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Nine.

The Panoptic is ranked 4,357^th in the world and 135^th in Balder for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector, scoring 51,893.62 on the Charon Conveyancy Index.
