The United Isles of Pai Lei is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Prime Minister Jean Zuju with an even hand, and notable for its devotion to social welfare. Its hard-nosed, intelligent population of 6.671 billion enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, liberal government stops and the rest of society begins, but it concentrates mainly on Education, although the Environment and Social Equality are on the agenda. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lue Mio. The average income tax rate is 67%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry.

Elections have become procedural nightmares due to voters persistently rejecting candidates, the people elect the Supreme Court justices directly, Coco the Clown has been elected to the nation's parliament, and the government is avowedly atheist. Crime is relatively low. Pai Lei's national animal is the lobster, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the Tai.

Pai Lei is ranked 134th in Balder and 4,941st in the world for Most Pacifist, scoring 296 on the Lennon-Springsteen Scale.
