The Community of Pa is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, ubiquitous missile silos, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 14.706 billion Pans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, with Administration, Law & Order, and Industry also on the agenda, while International Aid and Environment receive no funds. The average income tax rate is 69.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Pan economy, worth a remarkable 1,518 trillion Golds 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 a large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. 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 an impressive 103,271 Golds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

They say the best compromise leaves everyone feeling a little unarmed, the government is a clear-cut case of tyranny by majority, schoolchildren are divided over Leader's "Why Tigers are Cooler than Lions" speech, and the nation is relieved that all of the recent madness has finally come to an end. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pa's national animal is the Elephant, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Pa is ranked 41,028th in the world and 2,679th in Lazarus for Lowest Crime Rates, with 77.27 law-abiding acts per hour.
