The Democratic Republic of Pand New is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Mappoo with an even hand, and remarkable for its public floggings, compulsory military service, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate population of 1.632 billion Pand Newians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pand New City. The average income tax rate is 89.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Pand Newian economy, worth 145 trillion Pands 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 Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 89,121 Pands, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government has declared its commitment to multilateralism, discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation is illegal, criminals rejoice in the streets as the entire police force is sent away on a training retreat, and political candidates recite daily pledges of loyalty to their chosen party. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pand New's national animal is the sheep, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Pand New is ranked 13,895^th in the world and 379^th in The Communist Bloc for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 9,594.16 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
