The Pathedonist Maple Queendom of Pathonia is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Augusta Kossulminus with an even hand, and renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, absence of drug laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 7.875 billion Pathonians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large, corrupt, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aiklinginion. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Pathonian economy, worth a remarkable 2,347 trillion Krownviggens a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 298,111 Krownviggens, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Anti-government political posters adorn every building like wallpaper, cigarettes are dead-cheap, clowns are being rounded up and admitted to mental institutions, and the Ministry of Health has reported a sharp increase in the incidence of delayed menopause. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pathonia's national animal is the Ermin, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Goldenchickenism.

Pathonia is ranked 289,021^st in the world and 4,075^th in the Pacific for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -24.98 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
