The Communist Bloc Patriot of Pancakeon is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Pancakes with an even hand, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, keen interest in outer space, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 6.825 billion Cakers enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Red Shambhala. The average income tax rate is 81.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Pancakian economy, worth 822 trillion maple syrup bottles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. Average income is an impressive 120,448 maple syrup bottles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

In a baffling press conference Pancakes proudly dismantled a broken door, election officials are delivered in 30 minutes or money back, children who express a belief in Santa are labelled 'delusional cultists', and the government has officially clarified that "wee on your hands to save time" does not count as proper hygiene. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pancakeon's national animal is the Butter frog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Pancakeon is ranked 231,820^th in the world and 339^th in The Communist Bloc for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -5.81 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
