The Federal Republic of Paxlond is a huge, genial nation, renowned for its daily referendums, smutty television, and anti-smoking policies. The compassionate, democratic population of 537 million Paxlondians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 54.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Paxlondian economy, worth 38.0 trillion paxenias a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 70,787 paxenias, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Balaclava manufacturers are held criminally culpable for bank heists, Chekhov's guns are killing the entertainment budget, many are questioning Leader wearing an Eckie-Ecola baseball cap during a keynote speech, and the country's population is reported with a margin of error of several billions. 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 26,756^th in the world and 233^rd in Europeia for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 6,741.11 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
