The Dominion of Pfaffland is a huge, efficient nation, remarkable for its absence of drug laws. The hard-working, democratic population of 547 million Pfafflandians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.2%.

The thriving Pfafflandian economy, worth 28.5 trillion kronor a year, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 52,183 kronor, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 184,711 per year while the poor average 10,644, a ratio of 17.4 to 1.

Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Pfaffland's national animal is the swan, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Pfaffland is ranked 251,306^th in the world and 293^rd in Eurth for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring zero on the Gilded Widget Scale.
