The Imperial Republic of Paulotzia is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Emperor Paul I with an iron fist, and remarkable for its unlimited-speed roads, compulsory military service, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 24.958 billion Paulotzians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Paulopolis. The average income tax rate is 55.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Paulotzian economy, worth a remarkable 6,274 trillion Paulies a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 251,410 Paulies, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The navy is chrome-plating its battleships to prevent rust, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, the nation has always been at war with Moltovea, and aspiring musicians couldn't give away their music if they tried. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Paulotzia's national animal is the Imperial Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Secularism.

Paulotzia is ranked 266,619^th in the world and 1,261^st in Europeia for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 40.13 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
