The General of Pancho Villa is a gargantuan, orderly nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical population of 15.267 billion Mexicanoes 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 enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 58.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Pancho Villan economy, worth 140 trillion Pesos a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Trout Farming, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 9,171 Pesos, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Elections have been outlawed, it is illegal to make racist remarks in public, citizens are enjoying a recent large cut in taxes, and the government spends twice as much reclaiming lost settlements from the sea as it could've on coastal defences. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pancho Villa's national animal is the Aguila, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Pancho Villa is ranked 78,169th in the world and 3,441st in Balder for Safest, scoring 91.66 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
