The Super Democracy of Palgaron is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by President Mr Mittens Esquire with a fair hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, free-roaming dinosaurs, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 13.175 billion Palgaronians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.
The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Silvington. The average income tax rate is 95.1%.
The frighteningly efficient Palgaronian economy, worth a remarkable 1,973 trillion Gold Coins a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 149,773 Gold Coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Producers insist that movie stars wear crash helmets in every scene, third world countries are rich in "I Love Silvington" t-shirts, sleep-deprived officials are known to collapse after late night revision for their examinations, and people with political aspirations study how to make balloon animals. Crime is totally unknown. Palgaron's national animal is the Whitetail Buck, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Abilitism.
Palgaron is ranked 146,853rd in the world and 1st in Grasemere for Most Stationary, with 176.72778967192 days.
