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

The Palentinan republic of Pauliestien is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Colin Bergatte with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 3.554 billion Pauliestieners 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 Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Silvershine City. The average income tax rate is 45.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Pauliestienian economy, worth 239 trillion Pallatins a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 67,406 Pallatins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

'To Regulate And Beyond' is the unofficial motto of the Pauliestienian Space Agency, Colin Bergatte spends weekends doing the laundry of foreign leaders, heavy industry must go to expensive lengths to dispose of waste, and hackers post hourly updates on international summits. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pauliestien's national animal is the Leopard, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Protestant Christian.

Pauliestien is ranked 1,155^th in the world and 453^rd in The North Pacific for Most Influential, scoring 78,310 on the Soft Power Disbursement Rating.
