The Federated States of Pazill Ran is a dead, cultured nation, ruled by The Federal Council with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, ubiquitous missile silos, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, democratic population of zero Pazillians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Arlington. The average income tax rate is 38.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Pazillian economy, worth 98.3 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is 75,527 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

The government guarantees extra-soft tissues to fire-snorting elephants, patch v22.1705 - all developers are now paid for work, quiet professionalism has returned to the nation's armed forces, and engineers ask liberal arts majors "Do you want fries with that?". Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pazill Ran's national animal is the hawk.

Pazill Ran is ranked 199,429^th in the world and 1,099^th in the Plains of Perdition for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 77.89 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
