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

The Protectorate of Paffnicard 6 is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Aleksandar Vekili with an even hand, and notable for its smutty television, frequent executions, and enslaved workforce. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 4.153 billion Paffniacs 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Skoptopolis. The average income tax rate is 44.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Paffniac economy, worth 498 trillion banks a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Cheese Exports. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 120,080 banks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

Asking 'does my bum look big in this?' leads to 30 hours of self-esteem classes, a little pushing and pulling is needed for big ships to pass, the Paffniac Intelligence Agency has put 'Project Quantum Refrigerator' on hold indefinitely, and beggars lack pockets for spare change. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Paffnicard 6's national animal is the card and its national religion is card farming.

Paffnicard 6 is ranked 32,484^th in the world and 14^th in 10KI Card Farm for Smartest Citizens, with 46.19 quips per hour.
