The Balkan Utopia Folk Festival of Pannonika is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Ronnie James Dio with a fair hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, keen interest in outer space, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 2.713 billion Pannonikans 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, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Wratislavia. The average income tax rate is 33.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Pannonikan economy, worth 363 trillion Pivoes a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 133,925 Pivoes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Signatures have been replaced with illegible scribbles, national park visitors are reporting a rash of poison ivy sightings, high school boys are required to pass vigorous self-mastery and sensitivity training to graduate, and schools have extensive counseling programs for troubled students. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Pannonika's national animal is the Sloth, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Bad.

Pannonika is ranked 32,538^th in the world and 863^rd in The North Pacific for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 5,061.42 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
