“Concordia vincit omnia”

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

The Federal Republic of Pan Kath is a huge, genial nation, notable for its daily referendums, state-planned economy, and compulsory military service. The compassionate, democratic population of 615 million Pan Kathians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 63.1%.

The strong Pan Kathian economy, worth 52.3 trillion schwams a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Furniture Restoration, and Retail. Average income is 84,967 schwams, with the richest citizens earning 5.2 times as much as the poorest.

The government's new priority is citizens' access to cat videos, people's charity begins and ends at home, engine room hooch is the drink of choice among the nation's navy, and human sacrifice to the metaphorical altar of Mammon ensures national prosperity. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pan Kath's national animal is the green woodpecker.

Pan Kath is ranked 184,522^nd in the world and 1,796^th in The Communist Bloc for Most Income Equality, scoring 19.08 on the Marx-Engels Emancipation Scale.
