The Happy Place of Pagquot is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by P Atrui Benevolentia with an even hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, anti-smoking policies, and ban on automobiles. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 1.38 billion Pagquotians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pripotere. The average income tax rate is 42.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Pagquotian economy, worth 49.4 trillion Deniers a year, is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Pizza Delivery, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 35,807 Deniers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Bigtopian relations have become a minefield, ticket touts are blamed for the downfall of communism, teams of painters are converting road signs from horse lengths to kilometers, and money grows on trees. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pagquot's national animal is the Butterfly, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Pagquot is ranked 61,406^th in the world and 112^th in The Region That Has No Big Banks for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,651.77 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
