The Free Nation of Passany is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Arkadiy Sokolov with an even hand, and notable for its ban on automobiles, daily referendums, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 1.473 billion Passanyians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of North Jekiva. The average income tax rate is 74.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Passanyian economy, worth 143 trillion euros a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 97,257 euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Preschoolers practice disarming active shooters before naptime, not showing enough enthusiasm for mutual assured destruction is a court-martial offence, the World Free Nation Games have been won again by Passany as no other country cares enough to compete, and conspiracy theorists allege that the government is spying on them through their carbon monoxide detectors. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Passany's national animal is the Ardennais, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Passany is ranked 52,772^nd in the world and 486^th in The Communist Bloc for Most Efficient Economies, scoring 90.22 on the Krugman-Greenspan Business Outlook Index.
