The Kingdom of Pavlikstan is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by First Consul Pavlik with a fair hand, and renowned for its public floggings, punitive income tax rates, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-working, democratic, devout population of 14.776 billion Pavlikstanians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, corrupt, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Funland. The average income tax rate is 52.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Pavlikstanian economy, worth a remarkable 2,539 trillion dollars a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an impressive 171,869 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Mandatory state-funded classes teach Libertarianism, repurposed warships fire swag at company promotional events, the number of deaths due to poor fungus identification is mushrooming, and fistfighting vigilantes tend to suffer a lot of gunshot wounds. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pavlikstan's national animal is the beaver, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christianity.

Pavlikstan is ranked 159,457^th in the world and 3,794^th in The North Pacific for Safest, scoring 60.25 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
