The Kingdom of Pavlikstan is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by First Consul Pavlik with a fair hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, museums and concert halls, and public floggings. The 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 44.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Pavlikstanian economy, worth a remarkable 2,347 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 175,329 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Children as young as eight can be found working in factories, private pharmacies close down as medicinal drugs are given away freely by the government, torture is illegal, and politicians are often found scavenging bins at night to supplement their income. 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 60,645^th in the world and 1,817^th in The North Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 71.77 law-abiding acts per hour.
