The United Federation of Paxlond is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Dunce Dimwit Calvin with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, aversion to nipples, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, cheerful population of 2.736 billion Paxlondians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Paxlond City. The average income tax rate is 90.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Paxlondian economy, worth 423 trillion paxenias a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 154,938 paxenias, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government is under the thumb of countless special interests, immigrants who carry knives on them are presumed to be chefs, on graduation day the hats thrown in the air fly high enough to stun passing pigeons, and the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Paxlond's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is L-ism.

Paxlond is ranked 28,288^th in the world and 914^th in The North Pacific for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 5,465.67 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
