The Royal Commonwealth of Palmyrion is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by Lakambini Jilliane with an iron fist, and remarkable for its infamous sell-swords, national health service, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, cynical population of 24.753 billion Palmyrians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alexandria. The average income tax rate is 90.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Palmyrian economy, worth a remarkable 4,888 trillion Palmyrian Sterling Pesos a year, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 197,487 Palmyrian Sterling Pesos, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The thin blue line is composed of picketing police officers demanding better pensions, pillows outnumber picket signs at most workers rallies, bin lorries have replaced birds as the source of the dawn chorus, and elderly tribespeople die in bed surrounded by loved ones and linguists. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Palmyrion's national animal is the Palmyrian Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is secular.

Palmyrion is ranked 4,287^th in the world and 1^st in The Levanora Vastness for Most Developed, scoring 95.62 on the Human Development Index.
