The Democratic Republic of Palanto is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Prime Minister with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, zero percent divorce rate, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 11.38 billion Palantoans 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tolosau. The average income tax rate is 77.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Palantoan economy, worth a remarkable 1,417 trillion Vainas a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 124,598 Vainas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The law forbids arson, murder, and low-quality cheese, all tariffs have been abolished, the most penniless demographics have by far the highest number of researchers per capita, and tower block residents are each held responsible for four square inches of front lawn. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Palanto's national animal is the Caterbird, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Christianity.
Palanto is ranked 33,756th in the world and 5th in Sonindia for Most Stationary, with 1,303.29866588832 days.
