The United Socialist States of PaleLand is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Joseph Red with an even hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, complete lack of prisons, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, devout population of 1.661 billion PaleLandians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Palesopoly. The average income tax rate is 71.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient PaleLandian economy, worth 165 trillion eurollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Book Publishing, and Tourism. Average income is 99,603 eurollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Children in school playgrounds can be heard chanting the hymns of the Order of Violet, Politicism has been named as PaleLand's national religion, signs of extraterrestrial life are just foreign astronauts evading PaleLandian justice, and the government is a proud sponsor of the National Gaming Association. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. PaleLand's national animal is the fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Politicism.

PaleLand is ranked 285,039^th in the world and 1,531^st in Europeia for Largest Timber Woodchipping Industry, scoring -12.81 on the Tasmanian Pulp Environmental Export Index.
