The TNP Cup January 2023 Host of Pastaland is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Polandball I with an even hand, and remarkable for its national health service, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.355 billion Polandballs are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Warsaw. The average income tax rate is 26.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Polandball economy, worth 74.3 trillion Złoties a year, is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Trout Farming, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 54,838 Złoties, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Burial ceremonies have become as routinised as tax forms, many in Pastaland are born in the purple, thrift shops are closing their doors, and graverobbers claim they're acting within the interest of 'scientific preservation'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pastaland's national animal is the Countryhumans Bad animals Countryballs 👍, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Pastaland is ranked 147,205^th in the world and 5,630^th in the Rejected Realms for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring 918.16 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
