The Federation of Patastan is a huge, cultured nation, notable for its public floggings, frequent executions, and compulsory military service. The democratic, devout population of 716 million Patastanians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Healthcare, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Néo Patastán. The average income tax rate is 25.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Patastanian economy, worth 37.9 trillion Pzes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 52,999 Pzes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The mob vote is a crucial electoral demographic, increasing numbers of children in Patastan have different eye and hair color to their supposed fathers, a fashion designer has been arrested for inciting hatred after claiming redheads couldn't pull off vermillion, and sales of pregnancy testing kits are booming. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Patastan's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Patastan is ranked 124,509^th in the world and 5,033^rd in Osiris for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 39,590.68 Standard Monetary Units.
