The Kingdom of Patretra Baassland is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its avowedly heterosexual populace, public floggings, and prohibition of alcohol. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 270 million Patretra Baasslandians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 70.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Patretra Baasslandian economy, worth 17.9 trillion guilders a year, is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Uranium Mining, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 66,377 guilders, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation is famous for bravely sending wave after wave of its soldiers until the enemy runs out of bullets, selling your granddad's clothes requires an incredible amount of paperwork, government employees have reverted to carrier pigeon due to never-ending virus scans, and beating enemies to death with a baseball bat is legal if done within nine innings. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Patretra Baassland's national animal is the Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Patretra Baassland is ranked 16,653^rd in the world and 33^rd in Karma for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 1,325.76 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
