Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Freedom-Seeking Republic of Panageadom is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by President Cambyses Bohr with a fair hand, and notable for its complete absence of social welfare. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 13.118 billion live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded, pro-business individuals concentrates mainly on Education, although Law & Order and Healthcare are on the agenda. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Babylon. Income tax is unheard of. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Information Technology industry, followed by Uranium Mining and Book Publishing.

X-Files ratings have hit an all-time low, elections have become procedural nightmares due to voters persistently rejecting candidates, a survey of the nation's rivers and children has shown that pesticide levels are at an all-time regional high, and condemned prisoners spend hours a day sitting in lotus position looking perplexed. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is a problem. Panageadom's national animal is the protozoa, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the leaf.

Panageadom is ranked 600th in Capitalist Paradise and 131,640th in the world for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring -315 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
