The Whistler of Pade Kistler is a massive, safe nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, daily referendums, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 3.486 billion Pade Kistlerians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.
The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 31.7%.
The strong Pade Kistlerian economy, worth 225 trillion golds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 64,746 golds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.
The nationalistic national anthem inspires citizens to literally spit at foreigners, Little League matches are often attended by riot police with water cannon... just in case, the traditional Violetist dish of stuffed sheep's head is served with an intense look of shock upon its face, and the government has strong opinions about what goes into your bodily orifices. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pade Kistler's national animal is the wolf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Pade Kistler is ranked 159,453rd in the world and 289th in The Blades for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 1,792.77 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
