The Stoopid Children of Pangland is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Justin Case with an iron fist, and renowned for its strictly enforced bedtime, frequent executions, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 4.211 billion Pangolin Minions are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Chuān shān jiǎ. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 72.5%.

The powerhouse Panglandian economy, worth 490 trillion Lives a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 116,443 Lives, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 364,589 per year while the poor average 28,515, a ratio of 12.8 to 1.

Exploding toys that leak battery acid are back in the shops after the government declared child safety 'over-rated', male cubicle workers stand up every time a woman enters the room, Pangland is increasingly belligerent on the international stage, and advertisers scramble to sponsor the broadcast of Justin Case's most personal functions. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pangland's national animal is the Pangolin, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Cult Of Justin Case.

Pangland is ranked 43,319^th in the world and 94^th in Commonwealth of Sovereign States for Most Patriotic, with 36.6 flags saluted per person per day.
