The Technocracy of Partax is a massive, safe nation, notable for its smutty television, aversion to nipples, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed population of 4.802 billion Partaxians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 99.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Partaxian economy, worth a remarkable 1,298 trillion credits 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 mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 270,494 credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Nude art is becoming wildly popular, the nation's navy has been named the scourge of the seven thousand seas, the nation is committed to nuclear rearmament, and lifeguards are more concerned with watching for sharks than struggling swimmers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Partax's national animal is the owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Partax is ranked 751^st in the world and 45^th in The North Pacific for Longest Average Lifespans, with 95.8 Years.
