The Republic of Paappapapa is a huge, efficient nation, renowned for its infamous sell-swords, daily referendums, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 323 million Paappapapans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 47.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Paappapapan economy, worth 25.2 trillion Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 78,076 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Glamping Paappapapans won't sleep in a tent that doesn't include a Jacuzzi, baiting is a national sport, citizens are allowed to rise or fall based on their own merits, and a PhD just ain't what it used to be. Crime is totally unknown. Paappapapa's national animal is the Nothing, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Paappapapa is ranked 76,917^th in the world and 1,590^th in the South Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 101.61 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
