The Empire of Pandoska is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Tsar Dmitry III with an iron fist, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, zero percent divorce rate, and enslaved workforce. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 13.679 billion Pandoskans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Education, and Administration are also considered important, while International Aid is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Volnytsk. The average income tax rate is 99.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Pandoskan economy, worth a remarkable 6,032 trillion Imperial Rubles a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 440,993 Imperial Rubles, with the richest citizens earning 6.8 times as much as the poorest.

This year's hottest fashion trend is the Lese Majeste collection, strip mining of rare earth metals is up while back problems are down, weather forecasts are accurate but nobody has the bandwidth to view them, and banks now use correct pronouns when evicting people from their houses. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pandoska's national animal is the Golden Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Orthodox Jahovism.

Pandoska is ranked 304,966th in the world and 83rd in Saint Helene for Most Cultured, scoring 13 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
