The Confederacy of Padokea is a very large, efficient nation, remarkable for its teetotalling pirates, prohibition of alcohol, and pith helmet sales. The hard-working population of 399 million Padokeans 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 Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Kurta. The average income tax rate is 48.2%.

The all-consuming Padokean economy, worth 41.9 trillion Jennies a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 105,114 Jennies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.5 times as much as the poorest.

Rabbits are known to spontaneously explode without warning, '.lib' or '.con' domains indicate whether Padokean websites are meant for liberals or conservatives, 100-year-old politicians are now a thing of the past, and no-one can foil the ambitions of Big Aluminium. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Padokea's national animal is the Leopard, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Padokea is ranked 264,020^th in the world and 3,788^th in The North Pacific for Highest Drug Use, scoring 43.97 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
