“Justice, Piety, Loyalty”

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

The Republic of Region Pan is a gargantuan, efficient nation, notable for its frequent executions, keen interest in outer space, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 15.64 billion Region Panians 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 Administration, Industry, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 85.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Region Panian economy, worth a remarkable 3,167 trillion denarii a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Retail, Uranium Mining, and Arms Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 202,551 denarii, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

It takes all playtime for children to locate their friends among two hundred identical heads, more sidewalk is dedicated to animals than people, the Region Panian Tourism Bureau has described the abolition of coastal defences as a "kick to the groyne", and the government is cracking down on subversive groups. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Region Pan's national animal is the leopard, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Region Pan is ranked 44,016^th in the world and 1^st in Thoughtfulness for Lowest Crime Rates, with 76.11 law-abiding acts per hour.
