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

The Soviet Socialist Republic of Pachadistan is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Ala'zar Zxenkof with an iron fist, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, ubiquitous missile silos, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.567 billion Pachads are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Oldfrot. The average income tax rate is 71.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Pachad economy, worth 131 trillion Rubles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 84,044 Rubles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens who leave the country are officially classed as traitors, children seem to be getting better at lying these days, the nation's diplomatic missives are now delivered via sniper rifle, and UFO sightings are listed daily in the morning news. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pachadistan's national animal is the desert hare, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Atheism.

Pachadistan is ranked 287,827^th in the world and 4,024^th in the Rejected Realms for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 46.16 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
