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

The Kingdom of Pavlikstan is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by First Consul Pavlik with a fair hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, smutty television, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 9.747 billion Pavlikstanians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The medium-sized, corrupt, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Funland. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 22.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Pavlikstanian economy, worth a remarkable 1,562 trillion dollars a year, is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 160,346 dollars, with the richest citizens earning 8.3 times as much as the poorest.

The Violet Mile now refers to the long line-ups that former death row inmates wait in as they transfer to maximum security prisons, streaming video is considered to be a myth by most citizens, houses and businesses are bulldozed to make way for ever-expanding cemeteries, and the "temporary replacement bus service" is now a permanent fixture. Crime is totally unknown. Pavlikstan's national animal is the beaver, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christianity.

Pavlikstan is ranked 1,417^th in the world and 445^th in The North Pacific for Most Influential, scoring 78,501 on the Soft Power Disbursement Rating.
