Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The State of Canal de Panama is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by the Governor with an even hand, and notable for its irreverence towards religion, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 35.603 billion Panamanians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. The average income tax rate is 53.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Canal de Panaman economy, worth 855 trillion betales a year, is quite specialized and led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Trout Farming. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 24,032 betales, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Urban entrepreneurs are busy introducing cockroaches into restaurant kitchens, genocide is seen as a topic best avoided in history lessons, illegal immigration remains a hot topic, and social networking sites have discussion groups devoted to planning terrorist attacks. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Canal de Panama's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Canal de Panama is ranked 265,457^th in the world and 1^st in Panama canal for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 11,151.01 Standard Monetary Units.
