The Democratic States of Pantasio is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Paul Koejke Butterbröd with an even hand, and notable for its compulsory military service and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.238 billion Pantasists enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Heudebert. The average income tax rate is 19.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Pantastic economy, worth 88.6 trillion croissants a year, is quite specialized and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 39,569 croissants, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Torture is illegal, the government funds large training centres to turn melonbears into functioning members of society, pop sensation "Jack and the Holograms" is storming the charts, and shelters struggle to keep up with the endless intake of stray animals. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Pantasio's national animal is the melonbear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Brioche.

Pantasio is ranked 81,784^th in the world and 39^th in Lewisham Library for Safest, scoring 89.66 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
