The Soviet Socialist Union of Paxlond is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Comrade Napoleon with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, smutty television, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cheerful population of 3.963 billion Paxlondians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Paxlond City. The average income tax rate is 92.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Paxlondian economy, worth 665 trillion paxenias a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 167,838 paxenias, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Comrade Napoleon's reputation is hard as nails, wars of expansion are described as "peacekeeping operations", Paxlond City Preparatory School for the Exceedingly Wealthy's basketball team is having a few off-years, and international humanitarian organisations are applauding the government for ending the death penalty. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Paxlond's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Paxlond is ranked 7,593^rd in the world and 347^th in The North Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 106.64 law-abiding acts per hour.
