The Dominion of Padwick is a titanic, safe nation, remarkable for its frequent executions and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed population of 23.206 billion Padwickians 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 Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 20.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Padwickian economy, worth a remarkable 1,079 trillion $$s a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Gambling. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 46,518 $$s, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Every new building project has to undergo a five-year environmental impact study before it can go ahead, throwing garbage out of your house's front window makes it legally someone else's problem, immersive video game experiences are interrupted by incessant disclaimer pop-ups, and sneezing in public is a capital offense. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Padwick's national animal is the Laughing swordfish, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Padwick is ranked 117,654^th in the world and 1^st in Marxist Alliance for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 665.95 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
