The Republic of Partak is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Miro Hab with a fair hand, and renowned for its frequent executions, prohibition of alcohol, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.778 billion Partakians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tokot. The average income tax rate is 73.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Partakian economy, worth 152 trillion Paras a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Cheese Exports, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 85,695 Paras, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Politicians bribe ten-year-old geniuses to sit their aptitude tests, a good deed is rewarded with a thank you note attached to a deportation order, factories grind to a halt every time there is an election, and there is a growing belief that consciousness is a simulated illusion within a computer-generated reality. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Partak's national animal is the Collared dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Partak is ranked 20,934^th in the world and 490^th in the Pacific for Healthiest Citizens, with 10.15 bananas ingested per day.
