The Kingdom of Pandect is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Big Chief Iasion Asztalos with an even hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, museums and concert halls, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The hard-nosed, devout population of 28.667 billion Pandectites 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 tiny, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Arkhonia. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Pandectian economy, worth a remarkable 5,948 trillion XDS a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 207,508 XDS, with the richest citizens earning 5.7 times as much as the poorest.

The highest sporting award is the Grail of Tears, three extra hay bales are rolled into Pandect's gold vaults every year, pilgrims from across the world come to Pandect to worship a glowing tree with a face carved on it, and lending money has become a major liability. Crime is totally unknown. Pandect's national animal is the black panther, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Parduism.

Pandect is ranked 64,565^th in the world and 8^th in Independent Order for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,599.74 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
