The Empire of Paxony is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by The Emperor with an iron fist, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, free-roaming dinosaurs, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 17.413 billion Paxians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Davos. The average income tax rate is 68.0%.
The frighteningly efficient Paxian economy, worth a remarkable 5,827 trillion Francs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 334,656 Francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.
Military information leaks are **REDACTED** by **REDACTED** in **REDACTED**, major boxing matches are held in government buildings, bailiffs must face down a fusillade of depleted uranium rounds, and ice-filled coffins are ominously positioned in the corner of every hospital ward. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Paxony's national animal is the White Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Paxony is ranked 314,489th in the world and 285th in Commonwealth of Sovereign States for Most Primitive, scoring -768.23 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
