The Southern Empire of Patagonien is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 10.826 billion are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it devotes most of its attentions to Education, with areas such as Social Equality and Religion & Spirituality receiving almost no funds by comparison. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ushuaia. The average income tax rate is 69%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Gambling industry.

Organ donation rates have hit a new low, bizarre-looking creatures called 'guanacodogs' dominate wildlife preserves, corporate lobbying has been outlawed, and the government has cut taxes in the face of widespread tax evasion. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Patagonien's national animal is the guanaco, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the peso.

Patagonien is ranked 20th in Deutschland and 82,996th in the world for Most Income Equality, scoring 90 on the Marx-Engels Emancipation Scale.
