The Dominion of Patagonja is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, ruled by the Prime Minister with a fair hand, and remarkable for its burgeoning puma population. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 5.714 billion Patagonians, 5.437 billion of whom are zombies, enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The tiny, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Beresford. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.6%.

The strong Patagonian economy, worth a remarkable 1,115 trillion dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Soda Sales, and Tourism. Average income is 66,897 dollars, with the richest citizens earning 9.7 times as much as the poorest.

Christianity has been named as Patagonja's national religion, anti-government web sites are springing up, history classes are mandatory for students, and decongestants have replaced dollars in street transactions. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Patagonja's national animal is the puma, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

Patagonja is ranked 249,394^th in the world and 15^th in Northumbria for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring -5.48 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
