The Welfarist Vizierdom of Pakitsk is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Vûlakìs Avēlôs Pârkōv with a fair hand, and remarkable for its national health service, hatred of cheese, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 7.306 billion Pakotskì are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Võlatsk. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Pakatska economy, worth a remarkable 1,490 trillion danirtsks a year, is extremely specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 204,027 danirtsks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Children as young as six shock their parents by coming out of the closet, the Museum of Blackacrean War Crimes is located on "Blackacre Did Nothing Wrong Avenue", lawyers turn down litigation cases and corporate work in order to focus on lucrative public defence work, and UFO sightings are listed daily in the morning news. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Pakitsk's national animal is the marmot, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Welfarism.

Pakitsk is ranked 625^th in the world and 10^th in The East Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 27,437.65 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
