The Disputed Territories of Papal States in exile is a very large, safe nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, complete lack of prisons, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 128 million catholics 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 relatively small, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Spirituality, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 15.2%.

The strong catholic economy, worth 7.84 trillion euros a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Cheese Exports, and Retail. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 61,264 euros, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 236,457 per year while the poor average 10,905, a ratio of 21.7 to 1.

Leader's latest speech included a bizarre reference to MaxWow incontinence pads being 50% more absorbent than the next leading brand, bouncers at the door of the sweet shop warn five-year-olds not to cause trouble, pet owners exercise their pigeons at a snail's pace or risk prosecution, and doctors ask for written consent before making eye contact with patients. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a well-funded police force. Papal States in exile's national animal is the pigeon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Papal States in exile is ranked 138,458^th in the world and 14^th in United Nations for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 1,387.45 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
