The Colony of Paceld is a small, pleasant nation, renowned for its burgeoning falcon population. The hard-working population of 26 million Paceldians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 19.6%.

The Paceldian economy, worth 1.11 trillion golds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Book Publishing. Average income is 42,866 golds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Paceld's national animal is the falcon, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Paceld is ranked 198,627^th in the world and 635^th in Concord for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 50 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
