The Republic of Padrena is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Wesley Caldwell with an iron fist, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, barren, inhospitable landscape, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 3.381 billion Padrenans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Angst. The average income tax rate is 67.1%.

The large but inefficient Padrenan economy, worth 135 trillion baht a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 40,098 baht, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens are regularly arrested in queues for 'loitering', the nation solves other countries' human rights problems with a generous dose of violence, any body part that can be cut off a person is no longer considered to be their property, and the government snoops on private internet connections. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Padrena's national animal is the penguin, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Farthism.

Padrena is ranked 183,765^th in the world and 220^th in Oneid for Highest Wealthy Incomes, with 67,450 Standard Monetary Units.
