The State of Paccini is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 26.366 billion Paccinians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.4%.

The very strong Paccinian economy, worth a remarkable 1,134 trillion betales a year, is quite specialized and led by the Cheese Exports industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Soda Sales, and Retail. Average income is 43,025 betales, with the richest citizens earning 6.8 times as much as the poorest.

The government is avowedly atheist, military funding has been stripped back, a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, and Paccini has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime is a problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Paccini's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Paccini is ranked 115,301^st in the world and 3^rd in Yaounde for Most Primitive, scoring -30.82 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
