The Republic of Paesyn is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its otherworldly petting zoo, ritual sacrifices, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, devout population of 2.338 billion Paesynians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 30.1%.

The very strong Paesynian economy, worth 141 trillion gold coins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Cheese Exports, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 60,388 gold coins, with the richest citizens earning 5.0 times as much as the poorest.

Pillows outnumber picket signs at most workers rallies, travellers are often forcibly evicted by torch-bearing mobs, apples shaped like baguettes have become a strange new food fad, and homeless people are periodically found dead upon altars to assorted deities. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Paesyn's national animal is the dragon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Paesyn is ranked 101,199^th in the world and 27^th in Asta EZ for Most Developed, scoring 61.5 on the Human Development Index.
