The Dominion of Pantalm is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Universal AC with an iron fist, and renowned for its unlimited-speed roads, rampant corporate plagiarism, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 18.428 billion subjects are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Industry, Administration, and Healthcare also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nexus. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Human economy, worth a remarkable 9,233 trillion credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is a breathtaking 501,056 credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A state-funded project is investigating whether the moon is made of cheese, moonshine has made a resurgence, elderly citizens regularly buy posh multimillion-credit mansions, and the nation's orphanages and maternity wards have been nicknamed 'the Killbot Factories'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Pantalm's national animal is the none, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Hermeticism.

Pantalm is ranked 2,240^th in the world and 1^st in The Iron Valley for Lowest Crime Rates, with 140.58 law-abiding acts per hour.
