The Republic of Panzer Vor 421 is a massive, orderly nation, notable for its disturbing lack of elderly people, state-planned economy, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, cynical population of 1.983 billion Panzer Vor 421ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 46.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Panzer Vor 421ian economy, worth 116 trillion Dollars 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, Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. 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 58,638 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government is a proud sponsor of the National Gaming Association, naturists are jailed regularly for indecent exposure, the nation has always been at war with Moltovea, and the military's newest toy broadcasts Panzer Vor 421's anthem on hostile frequencies to drive enemies insane. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Panzer Vor 421's national animal is the Lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Panzer Vor 421 is ranked 81,315^th in the world and 4^th in IDK da way for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 2,147.37 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
