The Empire of Paeloran is a large, genial nation, notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, avant-garde cinema, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical population of 180 million Paelorians are proud of their wide-ranging civil freedoms, and those who aren't tend to be dragged off the streets by men in dark suits and hustled into cars with tinted windows.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 25.6%.

The powerhouse Paeloranian economy, worth 15.2 trillion Paelors a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Woodchip Exports, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 84,601 Paelors, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.6 times as much as the poorest.

Serial commas clarify the relationship between one's lackeys, the taxpayers, and kinsfolk, top universities admit students based on how often they correct interviewers, private pharmacies close down as medicinal drugs are given away freely by the government, and cops in Paeloran City spend much of their time napping on a park bench next to Embassy Row. Crime is totally unknown. Paeloran's national animal is the Phoenix, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Paeloran is ranked 196,728^th in the world and 116^th in Eladria for Fattest Citizens, with 9.4 Obesity Rate.
