The Kingdom of Pavlikstan is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by First Consul Pavlik with an even hand, and renowned for its complete lack of prisons, pith helmet sales, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 3.58 billion Pavlikstanians 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, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Funland. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 23.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Pavlikstanian economy, worth 548 trillion dollars a year, is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 153,095 dollars, with the richest citizens earning 9.0 times as much as the poorest.

Teachers are skilled at leaving no evidence of child cruelty, students are known to arrive at school in their pyjamas, extreme political groups are outlawed, and lending money has become a major liability. Crime is totally unknown. Pavlikstan's national animal is the beaver, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christianity.
