The Divine Infinity of Pagans Mind is a massive, safe nation, notable for its devotion to social welfare. Its hard-nosed population of 1.179 billion are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Osiris's Gateway. The average income tax rate is 59%, and even higher for the wealthy. A very small private sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry.

Euthanasia is legal, the government snoops on private internet connections, traffic jams are a common sight due to construction work from a massive overhaul of the nation's freeways, and pharmacies close down as medicinal drugs are sold freely by the government. Crime is totally unknown. Pagans Mind's national animal is the Jorn , which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Krue.

Pagans Mind is ranked 24th in Australia and 74,521st in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring -15 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
