The Royal Galatic Empire of Pathelon is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Chesty Puller with an even hand, and notable for its closed borders, free-roaming dinosaurs, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed population of 7.193 billion Pathelonians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Pantheon. The average income tax rate is 73.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Pathelonian economy, worth 961 trillion Fig Newtons a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 133,687 Fig Newtons, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Colours are running as Pathelonians take on their own laundry, 'To Regulate And Beyond' is the unofficial motto of the Pathelonian Space Agency, freed serfs and former nobles exchange awkward glances in the produce aisle, and a historic rise in the minimum wage has crushed the economy with inflation. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pathelon's national animal is the Infantry, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is USMC.

Pathelon is ranked 31,162^nd in the world and 105^th in Conch Kingdom for Lowest Crime Rates, with 82.05 law-abiding acts per hour.
