The Universal Masters Nation of The Symbiote Paladin is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by The Iron Rebel with an iron fist, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, sprawling nuclear power plants, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 33.13 billion Symbiote Paladins are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The enormous, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Welfare, and Education are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Empty. The average income tax rate is 91.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong a Symbiote Paladin economy, worth a remarkable 2,850 trillion Universe Cystals a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Gambling. Average income is 86,034 Universe Cystals, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Punitive tariffs protect local industry, motorists must pay to enter inner-cities during peak hours, citizens can be frequently spotted going about their business stark naked, and children as young as twelve are conscripted into the armed forces. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Symbiote Paladin's national animal is the Donkey, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Islandism.

The Symbiote Paladin is ranked 52,089^th in the world and 3^rd in The Universe for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 142.85 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
