The Regularly Resurrect Republic of Pantseria is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by FP with an even hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 5.208 billion pantsers have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Merciorum. The average income tax rate is 38.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The all-consuming Pantserian economy, worth 499 trillion Scrips a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 95,991 Scrips, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.
Government debts are financed through alchemy, engine room hooch is the drink of choice among the nation's navy, administrative districts are increasingly defined by their taste in housing architecture, and glamping pantsers won't sleep in a tent that doesn't include a Jacuzzi. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pantseria's national animal is the Cardinal, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Gregic Temple.
Pantseria is ranked 79,115th in the world and 4,784th in Balder for Most Cultured, scoring 68 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
