The Republic of The Pandins is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Mr Panda with an even hand, and notable for its strictly enforced bedtime, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.175 billion Pandins 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pandaville. The average income tax rate is 32.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Pandin economy, worth 115 trillion Pandin Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 52,966 Pandin Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Pandins's national animal is the Panda, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
