The Holy Christmas Wonderland of Pathonia is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Augusta Kossulminus with an even hand, and notable for its daily referendums, unlimited-speed roads, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, devout population of 8.792 billion Pathonians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large, corrupt, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aiklinginion. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Pathonian economy, worth a remarkable 2,884 trillion Gold Bars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 328,123 Gold Bars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Requests to "pass the salt" are supported by tank divisions, lawyers are ordering red ink and 'Cease and Desist' rubber stamps in preparation for the return of copyright law, there's some really clean windows in Pathonian houses, and people can't decide between preserving forests and buying print copies of 'Dogman Versus The Giggler'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pathonia's national animal is the Vampire, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Goldnchickenism.

Pathonia is ranked 305,274^th in the world and 3,529^th in the Pacific for Highest Disposable Incomes, with zero Standard Monetary Units.
