The Dharmic Commonwealth of Pallapati is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Don Shikre with an even hand, and notable for its pith helmet sales, ubiquitous missile silos, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 5.963 billion Pallas 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Suryakanta 'The Solar City'. The average income tax rate is 87.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Darkwinged economy, worth 843 trillion White pounds a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 141,476 White pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Loud Patriotic Music Day has been ranked the seventh best new holiday of the year, 75% of the words in government-funded "Super Fun Maths Games" are probably inaccurate, Don Shikre can cry on demand, and politicians accost strangers in the street to ask their problems. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pallapati's national animal is the Golden Ape, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Hinduism.

Pallapati is ranked 14,078^th in the world and 4^th in Thegye for Lowest Crime Rates, with 95.22 law-abiding acts per hour.
