The Royal Commonwealth of Palmyrion is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Lakambini Elizabeth the Commoner with an even hand, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, keen interest in outer space, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, cynical population of 19.461 billion Palmyrians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alexandria. The average income tax rate is 85.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Palmyrian economy, worth a remarkable 3,735 trillion Palmyrian Sterling Pesos a year, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 191,970 Palmyrian Sterling Pesos, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Eminent domain has been abolished, pocket dialling is a criminal offence, commuters are denied boarding for attempting to bring packed lunches onto trains, and Lakambini Elizabeth the Commoner is called 'Patches' at international summits. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Palmyrion's national animal is the Palmyrian Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Marshism.

Palmyrion is ranked 12,138^th in the world and 13^th in Greater Dienstad for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1,410.9 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
