The Kingdom of Pavlikstan is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by First Consul Pavlik with a fair hand, and renowned for its strictly enforced bedtime, parental licensing program, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, democratic, devout population of 13.387 billion Pavlikstanians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Funland. The average income tax rate is 43.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Pavlikstanian economy, worth a remarkable 2,370 trillion dollars a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 177,042 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation has welcomed its expats back with open arms, Funland's flashy holiday light displays can be seen from space, the populace harbors a fierce hatred of the metric system, and clergy never mention brand names for fear of losing their government subsidies. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pavlikstan's national animal is the beaver, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christianity.

Pavlikstan is ranked 60,607^th in the world and 1,814^th in The North Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 71.66 law-abiding acts per hour.
