The State of Papago Park is a gargantuan, efficient nation, notable for its complete lack of public education, absence of drug laws, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 25.681 billion Papago Parkians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.7%.

The very strong Papago Parkian economy, worth 761 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is highly specialized and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Book Publishing, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 29,656 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 201,629 per year while the poor average 1,593, a ratio of 126 to 1.

Voting is voluntary and Papago Park has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Papago Park's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Papago Park is ranked 260,403^rd in the world and 1^st in Phoenix for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring -3.16 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
