The State of Palmas is a gargantuan, safe nation, remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, absence of drug laws, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-working, democratic population of 23.943 billion Palmasians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 42.3%.

The Palmasian economy, worth a remarkable 1,146 trillion betales 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 Woodchip Exports, Furniture Restoration, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 47,871 betales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

The latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, most of the nation's wealthy aristocrats are dentists, and Members of Parliament are often found living in cardboard boxes. Crime is almost non-existent. Palmas's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Palmas is ranked 160,580^th in the world and 3^rd in Monrovia for Lowest Crime Rates, with 60.09 law-abiding acts per hour.
