The Republik of Pantsville is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Liam Apello with a fair hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, daily referendums, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 5.625 billion Pantsvillejans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The tiny, liberal government prioritizes Industry, with Administration, Education, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Law & Order receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Panapolis. The average income tax rate is 3.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Pantsvillean economy, worth 974 trillion Florins a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 173,252 Florins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

A murderous reputation can revitalise a flagging celebrity career, the nation is known abroad for fast food and nothing else, the hardest thing for a mining operation to dig through is government red tape, and public ferries only carry enough lifeboats for the first-class passengers. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Pantsville's national animal is the Capybara, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Secular.

Pantsville is ranked 6,907^th in the world and 6^th in Lands End for Highest Food Quality, scoring 185.73 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
