The Republic of Panzer Vor 482 is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 2.954 billion Panzer Vor 482ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Education, Law & Order, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Welfare receives no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 42.2%.

The Panzer Vor 482ian economy, worth 160 trillion Dollars a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 54,400 Dollars, with the richest citizens earning 6.1 times as much as the poorest.

People reciting Shakespeare have become a common sight, society and government have been organized according to a feudal hierarchy, beating enemies to death with a baseball bat is legal if done within nine innings, and sheepish teenagers are making eye contact with their parents for the first time in a decade during state-enforced 'no-phones hour'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Panzer Vor 482's national animal is the Lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Panzer Vor 482 is ranked 73,999^th in the world and 299^th in Celiane for Largest Black Market, with 5.98 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
