The State of Palmas is a gargantuan, safe nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, state-planned economy, and absence of drug laws. The hard-working, democratic population of 24.001 billion Palmasians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 42.3%.

The Palmasian economy, worth a remarkable 1,148 trillion betales a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Furniture Restoration, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 47,871 betales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

The latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, most of the nation's wealthy aristocrats are dentists, and Members of Parliament are often found living in cardboard boxes. Crime is almost non-existent. Palmas's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Palmas is ranked 132,203^rd in the world and 3^rd in Monrovia for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 2,212.65 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
