The Holy Empire of Palladion is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by The Leader with an iron fist, and notable for its avowedly heterosexual populace, enslaved workforce, and complete lack of public education. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 22.798 billion Palladians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The minute, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order also on the agenda, while Environment and Welfare are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Concrete Canyon. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Palladian economy, worth a remarkable 5,431 trillion Pallads a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is an amazing 238,259 Pallads, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,840,595 per year while the poor average 8,139, a ratio of 226 to 1.

The Leader's new android secretary is the latest media darling, love is a precious butterfly to be crushed under diplomatic protocol, police drones follow every suspected Peeping Tom, and jaywalking is punishable by public flogging. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Palladion's national animal is the Snowy Owl, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Pallas Athena.

Palladion is ranked 2,858th in the world and 67th in The North Pacific for Most Stationary, with 3,826.70588424 days.
