The Royal Commonwealth of Palmyrion is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Lakambini Elizabeth the Commoner with an iron fist, and remarkable for its frequent executions, national health service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical population of 19.218 billion Palmyrians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.
The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alexandria. The average income tax rate is 84.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Palmyrian economy, worth a remarkable 3,707 trillion Palmyrian Sterling Pesos a year, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 192,910 Palmyrian Sterling Pesos, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The parliament building has installed a revolving door, thousands of former welfare recipients are in a revolutionary uproar as the rest of society is enjoying a hefty tax break, visiting the best Palmyrian restaurants requires keeping a visa on file, and Lakambini Elizabeth The Commoner reduces citizens' commute times by giving away their homes. 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 soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Marshism.
Palmyrion is ranked 8,693rd in the world and 13th in Greater Dienstad for Most Cultured, scoring 126 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
